Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in the world today, and in poor countries it is number one. Over 290,000 women die of it every year; yet it is completely preventable with screening and treatment. Our mission is to provide one-visit cervical cancer prevention treatment to women without access to care in developing countries. We train medical personnel in these areas to continue this important work. PINCC provides volunteer doctors and counselors who travel to underserved areas worldwide. We use a proven single-visit protocol, developed by the U. N. World Health Organization's Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention. This VIA/cryotherapy/LEEP program is more effective than traditional PAP smears, Our teams can screen, diagnose and treat precancerous lesions of the cervix with a success rate of over 90%. We carry all necessary equipment, and need only electricity to provide full treatment.

Our special focus is to offer this service to women who have been victimized by the growing human trafficking trade. These women are forced into sexual slavery, usually as children, and then ostracized by their families and communities. They are at high risk for cervical cancer as they are very likely to have contracted the virus that causes cervical cancer, the human papillomavirus (HPV). If they contract HIV infection, the cancer develops even more rapidly; cervical cancer is frequently the presenting symptom of AIDS, and the cause of death. We work with social service agencies that are helping these women to recover and rebuild their lives. By providing the gynecologic care that is unavailable to them, we remove this silent threat of an early and painful death.
