The temporal and age-dependent patterns of hysterectomy-corrected cervical cancer incidence rates in Denmark: a population-based cohort study.

Correcting for hysterectomy incidence resulted in a higher cervical cancer incidence and a shift in the peak incidence from age 35-39 years to age 75-79 years. Over time, women ≥60 years were at the highest risk of cervical cancer. Given the high incidence in women >60-65 years, when women are eligible to exit screening, a revision of the screening guidelines may be warranted.
