AUSTRALIAN CERVICAL CANCER FOUNDATION

Cervical cancer kills more than a quarter of a million women every year worldwide, 90% of these women live in developing countries.
In developing countries like Nepal and Bhutan, cervical cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 20 and 60 and far exceeds even breast cancer.

Thankfully, cervical cancer is now largely preventable due to the HPV vaccine developed by Professor Ian Frazer, the 2006 Australian of the Year, and a Director of the ACCF. Over time, with resolve and commitment it may be possible to eliminate cervical cancer through vaccination. In developing countries we are working to educate communities about the benefits of vaccination and to deliver the HPV cervical cancer vaccine free of charge.

BLADDER CANCER: MEDLINEPLUS

The bladder is a hollow organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine. Bladder cancer occurs in the lining of the bladder. It is the sixth most common type of cancer in the United States.
Symptoms include

• Blood in your urine
• A frequent urge to urinate

Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer. Exposure to certain chemicals in the workplace is another. People with a family history of bladder cancer or who are older, white or male have a higher risk.
