The American Cancer Society estimates that about 400 cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed in North Carolina in 2003. Nationwide, some 12,200 cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed last year and 4,100 women died of the disease.
Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer deaths among American women, though its mortality rate is declining. The cancer society reports that cervical cancer deaths dropped 74 percent from 1955 to 1992. It credits increased use of cervical cytology or Pap tests.
Sen. Virginia Foxx, R-Watauga, was the main sponsor of the other bill that requires health plans to cover the cost of screening tests for cervical cancer, including tests that are more modern than the conventional Pap smear test.
