SEER database analysis of survival by treatment recommendation and receipt among older patients with early-stage cervical cancer

Cervical cancer remains a substantial public health concern among older women who are beyond the age of routine screening. In a cohort study of 2236 patients with early-stage cervical cancer aged 65 years and older, receiving recommended surgery or radiotherapy was significantly associated with a significantly lower risk of cervical cancer-specific mortality compared with not receiving recommended treatment.
