Stress Linked to Mortality in Cervical Cancer
Researchers sought to identify the potential influence of stress-related psychiatric disorders and stressful life events on cancer-specific mortality in women with cervical cancer.

Findings show radical hysterectomy at high-volume centers tied to better survival in early cervical cancer.
Most lifetime QALYs seen with cytologic testing every 3 years, repeated for ASC-US.
Vast majority of cervical precancer cases attributable to HPV types targeted by 9-valent HPV vaccine
The proportion of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18-positive cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2 to 3 or adenocarcinoma in situ (CIN2+) declined from 2008 to 2014.
In the absence of further intervention, in the next 50 years, an estimated 44.4 million women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer globally.
Women who used a self-screening assay for high-risk human papillomavirus had similar test results to those who were screened by a clinician.
Researchers determined that women ≥55 years of age who underwent a single HPV DNA test with a negative diagnosis as well as routine cytology were found to be at low risk for cervical cancer.
Women with high-risk human papillomavirus-positive cervical tumors have a substantially better prognosis than women with hrHPV-negative tumors.
From 2008 to 2015, both cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grades 2, 3 and adenocarcinoma in situ rates and cervical cancer screening declined in women age 18 to 24 years.
