Key Points

This study aims to assess diagnostic practices, treatment access, and clinical outcomes for women aged 60 and older with cervical cancer.
Evaluated diagnostic patterns among women aged ≥60 years at a tertiary referral center.
Analyzed treatment access and usage of standard chemoradiotherapy in the population studied.
Advanced stage presentation observed in a significant proportion of cases, reflecting inadequate screening.
Underuse of standard chemoradiotherapy was noted, impacting treatment outcomes and overall survival.
Limited access to subsequent treatment negatively affected the management of cervical cancer in these women.

Implication

Evaluates diagnostic patterns and treatment access in older women with cervical cancer, highlighting significant gaps.

Abstract

Cervical cancer in older women is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages, reflecting gaps in screening and delayed diagnostic pathways. In addition, access to standard-of-care treatments, may be limited in this population. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic patterns, treatment access, and outcomes in women aged ≥60 years with cervical cancer in a tertiary referral center.
