- Title
Racial disparities in cervical cancer: Worse than we thought.
- Authors
Dalton, Heather J.; Farley, John H.
- Abstract
An editorial is presented on the study "Hysterectomy-corrected cervical cancer mortality rates reveal a larger racial disparity in the United States," by A. Beavis and colleagues. It expresses the view that ethnic and racial disparities remain despite overall decreases in mortality and cancer screening improvements. It notes that lack of adequate screening and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection are the factors associated with cervical cancer incidence.
