Article Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a common cancer affecting women in Canada. While cervical cancer incidence and mortality in Canada have declined for several decades due to the success of organized, provincial cervical cancer screening programs, further decreases will require enhancement of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention efforts. The present commentary provides a historical overview of cervical cancer trends in Canada, presents current statistics on cervical cancer incidence, mortality and survival, and discusses future directions in relation to cervical cancer elimination.

Clinical trials are essential to advancing cancer control, yet access and participation remain unequal globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) established the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) to enable a complete view of interventional clinical research for all those involved in healthcare decision-making and to identify actionable goals to equitable participation at the global level. A review of 89,069 global cancer clinical trials registered in the WHO ICTRP between 1999 and December 2022 revealed a cancer clinical trial landscape dominated by high-income countries and focused on pharmacological interventions, with multinational collaboration limited to only 3% of recruiting trials.

Background: More than 20% of cervical cancers are diagnosed in women older than 65 years. Guidelines recommend screening exit at age 65 for average-risk patients only if certain criteria are met, yet most women aged 64-66 years in the United States are inadequately screened. In this mixed methods study, we explored clinician knowledge of exit criteria.

Objectives: Cervical cancer is a serious threat to women's life and health and has a high mortality rate. Colposcopy is an important method for early clinical cervical cancer screening, but the traditional vaginal dilator has problems such as discomfort in use and cumbersome operation. For this reason, this study aims to design an intelligent vaginal dilatation system to automate colposcopy and enhance patient comfort.

Background: Cancer screening nonadherence persists among adults who are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing (DDBHH). These barriers span individual, clinician, and health care system levels, contributing to difficulties understanding cancer information, accessing screening services, and following treatment directives. Critical communication barriers include ineffective patient-physician communication, limited access to American Sign Language (ASL) cancer information, misconceptions about medical procedures, insurance navigation difficulties, and intersectional barriers for multiply marginalized individuals.
