As part of this effort, the GCRF is participating in the NCI’s PAVE study which is a 50,000 women study that is being used to validate a screen and treat algorithm based on self-swab HPV testing and AI interpretation of digital cervical images. The GCRF’s goal is to screen and treat 10,000-15,000 Cambodian garment workers as well as Cambodian women living with HIV. The GCRF hopes to expand into new countries of interest and collaborate with local partners and health care providers to establish cervical cancer screening and treatment programs. Potential countries of interest include Peru, India, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
