The European Pathway to Cervical Cancer Elimination – civil society perspectives Every country can eliminate cervical cancer Julie Torode, PhD Director, Special Projects, Union for International Cancer Control For the European Cancer Leagues, Virtual Policy Dialogue – 5th February 2021
The clock to 2030 is ticking
UICC recommends three early steps:
1. We governments to make a public commitment to elimination
and to girls and women in their populations
2. We encourage harnessing WHO modelling of elimination in
each country (or micro-elimination at State level) for feasible
and galvanising timeline for state and national level action.
3. With this timeline in mind and embracing the 2030 targets, can
we urge early update of state or national cancer control plans
and a dedicated costed strategy to cervical cancer elimination.

The WHO Global Strategy
VISION: A World Free of Cervical Cancer
THRESHOLD: < 4 cases of cervical cancer per 100,000 women per year 4/100.000 means
cervical cancer rates
2030 CONTROL TARGETS below that of rare
cancers

Cross linkage to NCCPs
and NCD plans should not
SDG 2030: Target 3.4 – 30% reduction in mortality from cervical cancer
be forgotten
National elimination strategies – a chance to build an
enabling environment
• Implementation research in and with communities and women
• Breakdown stigma and shift to a prevention mindset
• Maximise touchpoints women have with the health service for improving cancer health
literacy and access
• Focus on access for poor and vulnerable groups, financial protection for cancer patients
• Prioritise access and outcomes of highest risk girls and women
EQUITY INTEGRATION QUALITY OF CARE
Uniting the
cancer community Millions of Cancer
Survivors
Europe Wide, the 5-year
prevalence is estimated to be
13.5 million
Globocan 2020
Add: long term survivors
Add: women who have a negative screen and
increased sense of well-being
Add: the HIV community
Add: women's rights and empowerment
Add: communities leaders …..
Add: youth voice ….
Health literacy – live saving, but so more needs to be done
The things we can do something about!
• Common risk factors: tobacco, alcohol, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, overweight and obesity
and infection with the very common Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
• Get the message to those most vulnerable: those with lower education, less digitally connected,
the poor and rural communities
• Knowledge, but also the ability to act – policies to support maximising individual action

Working in partnership with civil society for reach and
impact – 17th Nov 2020
Over 100 locations across the globe light up
monuments in celebration of the launch of the
global strategy:
• UICC is calling for 17th November to be a
global elimination day every year
• How do we make them 10 steps to achieving
the 2030 targets?
• We welcome your ideas for the day and linkage
to World Cancer Day – 4th February, each year.
