The Risk of Developing Cervical Cancer in the Elderly: Who Benefits From Screening After the Age of 60?
People with a cervix with abnormal cytology in their exit screening smear 59-61 years showed a 19 times increased lifelong risk of cervical cancer and more than 100 times increased risk for CIN. Because this increased risk was not limited to a specific timeframe, prolonged screening or adjusted diagnostic follow-up for this specific group should be considered.
