Increased Risk of Second Squamous Cell Carcinomas Following Cervical Cancer: A Nationwide Danish Case–Control Study

Key Points

• Second squamous cell carcinomas show increased incidence among cervical cancer survivors, with a specific focus on lung types.
• The study indicates that while overall second primary cancer risks are lower, SCC rates are notably higher.
• Case-control study compared cervical cancer survivors with controls to achieve robust findings in incidence rates.
• These findings highlight the necessity for enhanced surveillance strategies in cervical cancer survivors to monitor SCC risks.
