Time to death and its determinants among cervical cancer patients in Tigray, Ethiopia: a retrospective follow up study
Cervical cancer survival in this cohort was markedly low compared to national and international findings. Older age and chemotherapy were associated with higher mortality. The unexpected association between perceived provider behavior and survival warrants further qualitative investigation. To improve outcomes, targeted efforts should focus on strengthening early detection and treatment services, particularly for older women.
