The PCS launched its Mobile Cancer Screening Bus that offers Acetic Acid Wash (AAW) for the detection of pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix with cryotherapy treatment and Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) for Filipino women in communities. The AAW and CBE are the primary early screening procedures for cervical and breast cancers, respectively, recommended by the WHO for low-resourced settings like the Philippines. The Mobile Clinic was made possible through the generous efforts of Victory Liner, Inc. and the Best Dressed Women of the Philippines (BDWP) fund-raising project.
