Objective: Age-adjusted rates of new cervical cancer diagnoses in the United States have remained stable despite increasing availability of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination. As it is well established that sociodemographic factors drive cervical cancer care inequity, we aimed to evaluate their impact on catch-up HPV vaccination rates in adults.
Methods: The All of Us (AoU) Research Program is a longitudinal cohort study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
Objective: To describe extension of ovarian tissue beyond visible and National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommended margins among patients with BRCA mutations undergoing minimally invasive risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy.
Methods: A prospective study of patients with BRCA mutations who underwent minimally invasive risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was conducted. Patient enrollment occurred between October 2021 and 2023.
