Global burden and temporal trends of cervical cancer in women aged 60 years and older, 1990-2021: a Global Burden of Disease study
Cervical cancer control is challenged by population aging, which elevates the absolute burden in older women even as age-standardized rates decline. Risk-based human papillomavirus screening with self-collection and geriatric assessment-guided treatment must be prioritized to convert rate declines into fewer deaths and less disability in older women.
