Both can be detected early with current screening methods. Finding abnormal cells before they become cancerous can actually prevent cervical cancer. The Ohio Department of Health, through funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has a Breast and Cervical Cancer Project (BCCP). The project provides education, screening, rescreening, diagnostics and case management related to breast and cervical cancer. Between March of 1994 and March 2006, 49,558 women have been enrolled in, and screened by, the Ohio BCCP. Services Eleven regional, multi-county projects implement the BCCP at the local level. Services provided include mammograms, Pap tests, office visits, clinical breast exams, colposcopies, breast utlrasounds, biopsies and other diagnostic procedures. The clinical services are provided through a network of more than 700 Ohio primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, gynecologists, surgeons, mammography facilities, radiologists, technologists/ technicians and cytologists. As of March 2006, over 81,649 mammograms were performed and funded by the BCCP and 74,617 Pap tests were performed and funded. Of the women receiving services, more than half (54 percent) were between the ages of 50 and 64 when first screened in the BCCP.
