Immigration, screening, and cervical cancer incidence: an application of Age–Period–Cohort analysis

Abstract: Cervical cancer (CC) control is based on the implementation of effective screening programs. In the coming years, human papilloma virus vaccination coverage will contribute considerably toward cancer prevention. In Italy, where an organized screening program has been implemented, immigration from low/middle-income countries with a high prevalence of human papilloma virus infections has increased steadily over the last decades. To assess the impact of screening efforts in counteracting background changes, we an… Show more

“…As a group, ethnic minority women in deprived areas are characterised by lower employment, lower disposable income and education, as well as higher incidence of some cancers compared to the native population [5,6]. Studies from Denmark and other countries show that ethnic minority women are less likely to participate in screening programmes for cervical cancer [7][8][9][10], breast cancer [11,12] and colorectal cancer [13,14] than the native population. There may be different complex factors influencing ethnic minority women's screening participation.…”

“…For instance, since Finland initiated a nationwide cervical cancer screening program for women aged from 30 to 50 in 1960s, an 80% drop of incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer in all age groups was observed from 1965 to 2003 [ 37 ]. In Italy, which implemented population-based screening for cervical cancer in 1996, a stably decreasing trend in cervical cancer incidence was observed 17 years later, with a decline by 2.7% per year (1994-2013) [ 38 ].…”

“…According to previous studies, [3,4] the pathological type, stage, and lymph node metastasis of tumors are all factors influencing the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Currently, 20 to 40% of cervical cancer patients are aged ≤35 years, [5] but there are few studies on the factors influencing the prognosis of these patients. Moreover, the boundary age of young patients with cervical cancer is 35 years in the Chinese literature.…”
