Disparities in cervical cancer elimination time frames in the United States: a comparative modeling study.

ABSTRACT: Population-level estimates in time frames for reaching cervical cancer elimination (ie, <4 cases per 100 000 women) in the United States may mask potential disparities in achieving elimination among subpopulations. We used 3 independent Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network models to estimate differences in the time to cervical cancer elimination across 7 strata of correlated screening and human papillomavirus vaccination uptake, based on national survey data. Compared with the average population, elimination was achieved at least 22 years earlier for the high-uptake strata and at least 27 years later for the most extreme low-uptake strata. Accounting for correlated uptake impacted the population average time frame by no more than 1 year. Consequently, national average elim
