Cervical Cancer Goes Untreated in 10% of Patients.
NASHVILLE, TENN. -- Approximately 10% of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer never pursue treatment, according to a study by the National Cancer Institute.
"We knew there would be some women who choose not to undergo treatment, but we were surprised by the high percentage who are not getting treatment," said Dr. Edward Trimble, who presented his study in poster form at the annual meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists.
"This is worrisome because it means they are seeing doctors, their disease is being diagnosed, but then they decline or are unable to comply with the recommendations for treatment," he told this newspaper.
Using the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data, the investigators identified 10,281 women diagnosed with cervical cancer between 1992 and 1997.
Among women with early-stage disease, 5% of those under age 50, 5% of those aged 50-64, and 8% of those aged 65 or older went untreated.
