“…Moreover, women with higher number of births are not only more likely to have had more previous contact with health workers, and therefore more likely to be knowledgeable about cervical cancer, but they also tend to be more accustomed to utilization of reproductive health services. Closely related to influence of parity, we did find that older women were more likely to utilize cervical cancer screening even though the benefits of screening are lower among this group compared to women in their reproductive ages based on the natural history of cervical cancer [32].…”

“…The importance of cervical screening in older women is highlighted by evidence that the 20-year risk of cervical cancer is reduced six-fold for women who undergo regular screening between ages 50 and 64 (Castanon, Landy, Cuzick & Sasieni, 2014). However, some figures suggest that screening attendance rates are declining in this age group.…”

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ABSTRACTCervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide (WHO, 2016). In many developed countries the incidence of cervical cancer has been significantly reduced by the introduction of organised screening programmes however, in the UK, a fall in screening coverage is becoming a cause for concern. Much research attention has been afforded to younger women but age stratified mortality and incidence data suggest that older women's screening attendance is also worthy of study. This paper provides a review of current evidence concerning the psycho-social influences that older women experience when Highlights There has been a lack of research on older women and cervical screening  This is at odds with age stratified incidence and mortality data  Embarrassment and logistical issues may deter older women from cervical screening  Psychological, emotional and physical age related changes can also play a role  Further research to enable informed decision-making among older women is required ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

“…In another study of early-stage ICC management, minority women were less likely to undergo a hysterectomy and more likely to be treated with fertility-sparing, less definitive procedures. These discrepancies have been hypothesized to be related to increased comorbidities, patient choice to decline the recommended treatment, and provider bias in treatment recommendations in minority patients [37,47], which have also been observed in the treatment of other diseases [48]. …”

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Cervical Cancer Screening and Outcomes

et al. 2016

Invasive cervical cancer disproportionately affects women without sufficient access to care, with higher rates among minority groups in higher-income countries and women in low-resource regions of the world. Many elements contribute to racial/ethnic disparities in the cervical cancer continuum - from screening and diagnosis to treatment and outcome. Sociodemographic factors, access to healthcare, income and education level, and disease stage at diagnosis are closely linked to such inequities. Despite the identification of such elements, racial/ethnic disparities persist, and are widening in several minority subgroups, particularly in older women, who are ineligible for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and are underscreened. Recent studies suggest that racial/ethnic differences in HPV infection exist and may also have a role in observed differences in cervical cancer. In this review, we provide an overview of the current literature on racial disparities in cervical cancer screening, incidence, treatment and outcome to inform future strategies to reduce persistent inequities.

Cervical Screening at Age 50–64 Years and the Risk of Cervical Cancer at Age 65 Years and Older: Population-Based Case Control Study

Abstract: Peter Sasieni and colleagues use a population-based case control study to assess the risk of cervical cancer in screened women aged over 65 years to help inform policy on the upper age of cervical cancer screening. Please see later in the article for the Editors' Summary
