Cervical Cancer Screening in Older Women: New Evidence and Knowledge Gaps
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, an expert panel was convened on behalf of the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), and the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) to review the evidence for the age to stop cervical cancer screening. The paucity of data needed to guide this recommendation was noted by a call for prospective studies in older women as a key research priority. In this week’s issue of PLOS Medicine, Sasieni and colleagues, contribute important new data on risks of cervical cancer in older women with different screening histories [1].
