Cervical and endometrial cancer screening before gender-affirming hysterectomy
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how to best screen for cervical and endometrial (uterine lining) cancer in transgender and gender-diverse people who have had or plan to have a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus and cervix). It aims to make screening more comfortable and effective for this community.
