Background: More evidence is needed to substantiate current recommendations about removing ovaries during hysterectomy for benign conditions.
Objective: To compare long-term outcomes in women with and without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) during hysterectomy for benign conditions.
Design: Emulated target trial using data from a population-based cohort.
Objectives: Base-of-tongue (BOT)/tonsillar cancer incidence is rising, primarily due to human papillomavirus; meanwhile, rates of the mainly smoking-associated laryngeal cancer is declining. Little is known about whether these trends are seen in all socioeconomic levels and age-groups. We describe incidence trends of BOT/tonsillar and laryngeal cancer in Denmark 1994-2018 by educational level and age.

We investigated postdiagnosis beta-blocker use and risk of CBC in a cohort of 52 723 women with breast cancer by using nationwide Danish health registers and the Danish Breast Cancer Group database. We defined postdiagnosis beta-blocker use as a time-varying covariate starting 1 year after a second prescription was redeemed.

We examined the incidence of high-grade penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PeIN), the incidence and 5-year relative survival as well as mortality of penile SCC in Denmark over the latest 20 years.
