    Abstract Objectives: (1) To understand whether women who are older when diagnosed with cervical cancer have a poorer survival compared to those younger, and if so, to determine the relative importance of patient, tumor and treatment factors. (2) To review whether older women are candidates for aggressive curative treatment for their cervical cancer and the age related effectiveness and toxicity.
    Methods: A review of the published English literature from 1990 to 2014 using search terms related to cervical cancer and older age was conducted.
    Results: A number of confounders may influence whether advanced age impacts survival such as patient comorbidities, stage, histology, grade, no or incomplete treatment, less radical surgery, palliative rather than curative treatment, lack of adjuvant radiation after surgery, lower rates of chemotherapy and others. When older women are treated as aggressively as their younger counterparts, survival is the same; however, especially where radiation or chemotherapy is used, toxicities may occur at the same or slightly higher rate.
    Conclusions: The more recent population based studies have larger sample sizes and minimize the biases seen in single center studies. They have also corrected for confounders giving a more accurate answer concerning the outcomes of older women treated for cervical cancer. Performance status (or "frailty") and not chronologic age should define the optimal treatment strategy for older women with cervical cancer. Treatment related toxicities can be managed with treatment breaks or dose reductions. For those who receive curative treatment, the outcomes appear similar regardless of age.

    Abstract Objective: To review the literature concerning the role of cervical screening in women 60 years and older.
    Methods: Literature review was conducted using PubMed and the search terms cervical neoplasm, cancer, middle aged, elderly, aged, postmenopausal, cervical cytology and screening. To be included in the review, the article must have been in the English language. The search focused on publications from 2000 forward.
    Results: The case control and modeling studies that addressed the role of cervical cytology screening in women 60 and older were reviewed. The outcomes of interest included: (1) the benefits of screening in terms of decrease rate of cervical cancer incidence (6 studies) and mortality (3 studies); (2) the duration of protection of the last screening test (4 studies); and (3) the harms of screening older women including false positive test results and cost.
    Conclusions: Cervical cytology screening is beneficial for women over 60 years in terms of preventing the occurrence and death from cervical cancer. A negative cytology test appears to have 5 years of protection in this age group. Age of last screen with in an organized screening program may differ compared to the goals and wishes of individual women.

    Abstract Background: Cancer is a rapidly rising cause of morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Cervical cancer, in particular, is still one of the leading causes of mortality for women in this setting. The uptake of healthcare services is in part influenced by patients' belief systems. We sought to better understand the perception of cancer in the Kom tribe of Northwest Cameroon.
    Methods: A qualitative research study was completed using a semi-structured interview guide and one-on-one interviews with 45 parents of girls aged 9-14 years. These girls were candidates for free HPV vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using ATLAS.ti 9.
    Results: Thirty-five mothers and ten fathers with a median age of 42 yo were interviewed from Mbingo, Belo, Njinikom, and Fundong. Half of the parents were farmers, with three being herbalists or traditional medicine doctors. Seventy-seven percent had either no or only primary school education. None had had cancer. All knew at least one person with cancer. The most common word for cancer in the Kom language is "
    Conclusion: Ways to bridge biomedical healthcare services and traditional medicine are needed, especially in tribal contexts where the latter is an integral part of daily life.

    Abstract Evaluating the quality of care received by gynecologic cancer patients in the real world is essential for excellent outcomes. The recent population-based literature looking at quality of care was reviewed for all gynecologic malignancies. Outcomes are generally highest when care is provided by high-volume providers in high-volume cancer centers. Provision of care according to clinical practice guidelines has also been demonstrated to improve outcomes in many situations. Disparities exist for marginalized groups in terms of the care they receive and subsequent outcomes. Health systems need to improve care for these populations.

    Abstract Backgrounds: To systematically review the effectiveness and harm of consolidation or maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV EOC.
    Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and PROSPERO databases, and four relevant conferences were systematically searched. We adhered to PRISMA guidelines, and used the GRADE approach to aggregate data.
    Results: Among 12,675 citations, 28 comprising 16,310 patients were analyzed. The certainty of aggregated study evidence ranged from high to low.
    Conclusions: The existing evidence does not find overall survival benefit for consolidation therapy with chemotherapy. For maintenance therapy, comparing with placebo, olaparib, niraparib, veliparib, and bevacizumab are effective as maintenance therapy for certain patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma respectively without reducing quality of life. Longer follow-up with more mature results of overall survival will better define the effect of these agents.
