Cervical Cancer Screening and Dysplasia Treatment Training

Decreasing Cervical Cancer Incidence, Morbidity and Mortality

Cervical cancer is preventable and curable when detected early and treated promptly. Yet, it remains the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, with approximately 342,000 deaths and 604,000 new cases reported in 2020 alone.

Tragically, nearly 90% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, where access to screening and treatment is limited (WHO, 2020).

Project C.U.R.E.’s Cervical Cancer Prevention Program is designed to address this global health disparity by training and equipping local healthcare providers to deliver lifesaving care in their own communities.

Training Local Providers

Our Cervical Cancer Screening and Dysplasia Treatment Training Program provides a four-day, competency-based course that prepares local healthcare workers to screen for cervical cancer and treat precancerous lesions in a single visit—following the World Health Organization’s “screen-and-treat” approach.

Screening Technique: Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA)
Using vinegar (acetic acid), trained providers visually identify abnormal cervical cells during a pelvic exam—an effective and low-cost method ideal for low-resource settings.

Treatment Technique: Thermal Ablation
If precancerous lesions are detected, providers use a portable thermal coagulator to safely treat the cervix by applying controlled heat to destroy abnormal tissue. Participants are trained through a combination of classroom instruction, clinical
observation, and hands-on practice with support from experienced Master Trainers.

By the end of the training, providers are able to:

Screen for cervical cancer and its precursors
Detect and treat lesions early to prevent progression
Accurately document and use patient data for follow-up and care

Empowering Local Healthcare Workers

At Project C.U.R.E., we believe in sustainability and believe that local health care providers are the best conduit to help patients. Our goal is to build long-term local capacity, empowering healthcare providers to continue delivering cervical cancer screening and treatment far beyond the training period.

The Project C.U.R.E. Cervical Cancer Screening and Dysplasia Treatment Training Program is comprehensive with a 1:2 Master Trainer to Trainee ratio, this program ensures direct supervision, personalized instruction, and maximum clinical exposure.

This program includes multiple training modules, step-by-step written procedures and protocols, written patient education materials, as well as self-evaluations to help learners access working knowledge and skills required to proceed independently with cervical dysplasia screening and treatment.
