A study, conducted by UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers, shows an alarming number of California women 65 and older are facing late-stage cervical cancer diagnoses and dying from the disease, despite guidelines that recommend most women stop screening for cervical cancer at this age.
Mina Sedrak, director of the UCLA Center for Cancer and Aging and director of Cancer Control and Survivorship Research at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Vijaya Raj Bhatt professor and medical director of the Leukemia Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, were selected to serve as co-chairs of the Cancer in the Older Adult Committee for The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.
