Article Synopsis
- The study focused on vulvar cancer incidence and survival rates in Swedish women from 1960 to 2019, primarily affecting older women.
- Data from the Swedish Cancer Registry included 8,499 women with various types of vulvar cancer, showing that squamous cell carcinoma was the most common.
- The results indicated a stable incidence rate over the years, a rising survival rate of 20% for women diagnosed, and a noted increase in adenocarcinoma cases.
Article Synopsis
- * A study in Skåne, Sweden, involved 8,721 women who underwent conization from 2015 to 2021, focusing on adherence to follow-up protocols and their cytological and HPV status over various months after the procedure.
- * Results showed high compliance with follow-ups, with 90% of patients tested within 12 months, and a significant number (84.4%) achieving a negative test of cure by 24 months, indicating effective prevention of cervical cancer with minimal new high-grade lesions occurring.
Introduction: Methylation analysis of the promoter region of tumor-suppressor genes has previously shown high sensitivity for detection of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cancer. HPV-testing has a high sensitivity to identify women at risk to develop cancer, and has been implemented in cervical screening programs in several countries. But in most HPV-positive women the infection will clear and they will not develop cancer.

Material And Methods: In this Swedish nationwide open cohort study, 4 120 557 women aged ≥15 years at baseline were included between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2018.

Background: The aim was to investigate time trends for incidence and long-term net survival in the morphologic subtypes and stages of cervical cancer in Sweden during the period 1960 to 2014.
Methods: Women with invasive cervical cancer were identified through the Swedish Cancer Registry. Incidence and net survival were calculated according to morphology, age at diagnosis, and FIGO stage at diagnosis.
