MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This book (an
updated and extended edition) is about mobilizing women and health care policy
makers and providers to unite their efforts in a single strategy for fighting
cervical cancer worldwide. The objective of this strategy would be to reverse
cervical cancer prevalence and mortality rates among all 2.4 billion women at
risk and to achieve this goal within 10-15 years of implementation. Cervical
Cancer Screening (Pap test, VIA, VILI, or HPV) failed to stop cervical cancer
worldwide simply because many countries could not afford developing
infrastructure necessary to carry on the global strategy, and because the
outreach could not accomplish the targeted 51% of the population at risk. In
2015, there is still 600,000 women getting cervical cancer annually and 300,000
of them die. Every minute one woman gets cervical cancer and every 2 minutes
one woman dies from this preventable disease.

In 21st Century
the Information Technology (IT) Revolution has made substantial impact on
medicine enabling remote points-of care, scattered around the world, to be
e-connected with experts in distant medical centers and to obtain quality
diagnosis and proper guidelines for curative therapy of early stages of
cervical cancer. Low frequency of costly interventions needed makes IT-based
screening financially and socially beneficial for mass screening.

This new
Mobile Health technology with the Global Strategy for Fighting Cervical Cancer
is subject to elaboration in our book as the new hope when old efforts have
failed to stop the world "epidemics" of this grave but preventable disease. The
language is adapted for easy reading and understanding by professionals and
lay-persons.

This book is
intended for women at risk for cervical cancer, their health care providers,
health insurance companies, government responsible for making health policy and
healthcare industry because all of them have special role in the new Global
Strategy elaborated in details in this book.
