Estimated Cancer Risk in Females Who Meet the Criteria to Exit Cervical Cancer Screening.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cervical screening guidelines in the US recommend that most females can exit routine screening at age 65 years following 2 recent consecutive negative cotest results (concurrent human papillomavirus and cytology tests). However, empirical data on the subsequent risks of cancer and cancer death in this subgroup of females are limited.

Objective

To estimate the risks of cervical cancer and cervical cancer death among females who meet the cotesting criteria to exit screening.

Design, setting, and participants

In this decision analytical comparative modeling study, 4 decision analytical models from the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network-Cervical modeling consortium that fit common US epidemiological data targets were validated against publish
