Unresolved Palliative Care Needs of Elderly Non-Cancer Patients at Home: A Multicenter Prospective Study.

Introduction/objectives: There is growing consensus on the benefits of initiating palliative care early in the disease trajectory; however, palliative care needs for non-cancer patients remain to be elucidated. We investigated the trajectory of unresolved palliative care needs of non-cancer patients at home and explored associated factors.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study of elderly non-cancer patients at home in Japan between Jan 2020 and Dec 2020.

Virological and cytological clearance in laser vaporization and conization for cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia grade 3.

Aim: Cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) is the precancerous stage of cervical cancer. Standard treatment for high-grade CIN is conization of the cervix. The risk of preterm birth following conization has been discussed recently.
