Projects

Worldwide

The GCRF is partnering with The United States National Cancer Institute to further develop their new cervical cancer screening artificial intelligence algorithm. The GCRF will screen and treat over 10,000 women around the world to help validate this algorithm. 

Cambodia

The GCRF is currently working with the Takeo Regional Hospital and the Cambodian National Center HIV/AIDS (NCHADS) to screen 10,000 Cambodian women as Part of the U.S. National Cancer Institute’s 100,000 women PAVE study. The PAVE study is the key study in the NCI’s cervical cancer moonshot program. In the past, GCRF worked with The Sihanouk Center of Hope, a hospital devoted to the care and treatment of people living with HIV and tuberculosis to conduct two cervical cancer screening studies.

China

The GCRF in Partnership with The United Foundation for China’s Health and the Han Hong Foundation has conducted three large scale cervical screening and research projects in remote regions of China Including Ningxia, Yunnan, and Inner Mongolia. See research papers we have published about these studies here.

Kenya

The GCRF worked with Cure Cervical Cancer to screen and treat women for cervical cancer in rural areas of Kenya.

Peru

The GCRF has partnered with Amazon Promise to conduct two large scale cervical cancer screening projects in Iquitos and remote villages along the Amazon river in Peru. Additional screen and treat projects are planned for 2025.

The GCRF will team with Rays of Hope Jinja and Cure Cervical Cancer to conduct large scale cervical cancer screening and treatment projects.

United States

The GCRF has partnered with scientists at the George Washington University McCormick Genomics and Proteomics Institute to identify key inflammatory pathways in lichen sclerosus (the leading cause of vulvar cancer). These basic science studies helped to identify a novel medication that is currently being studied in a phase 2B clinical trial for lichen sclerosus.
