NCT ID NCT07075731
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines how often transgender and gender-diverse individuals receive cervical and endometrial cancer screening before undergoing gender-affirming hysterectomy. Researchers will review medical records and explore whether offering HPV self-testing could increase screening rates. The goal is to gather data that could lead to better, more inclusive screening guidelines for this population.
