Abstract

Objective: Current cervical cancer guidelines recommend discontinuing screening after the age of 65 years; however, with decreasing hysterectomy rates, aging women are more likely to retain their uterus and cervix, and this may affect risk of cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to determine whether there has been an increase in the age of diagnosis of cervical cancer over time or in the proportion of patients older than 65 years diagnosed with cervical cancer.
