Grant Description
Project Summary/Abstract Cervical cancer disproportionately affects women of color from low-socioeconomic geographical locations. Locations, such as sub-Saharan Africa, can also have a high incidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, and access to cervical cancer screening is generally limited for women living in these underserved
communities. Furthermore, People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWH) have evidence of premature aging, which could contribute to cervical cancer progression and responses to chemoradiation therapy (CRT). CRT is the standard of care for locally advanced cervical cancer, and older women (≥52-years of age)
treated with CRT have worse side effects than younger (
