Uterine Fibroids Among Women of Caribbean and African Descent/Ancestry in the UK: A Scoping Review

Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign tumours affecting women in the UK, with women of African and Caribbean descent reporting a higher prevalence, early onset, and greater symptom severity compared to other ethnic groups. Despite this known disparity, there is a paucity of evidence for this population within the UK healthcare context. We intend to review the existing UK-based evidence concerning uterine fibroids among women of African and/or Caribbean ancestry. Academic and Grey literature searches will be conducted. Data will be extracted from the included studies and analysed thematically.
