Transgender men and cervical cancer screening: what's holding them back?
NCT ID NCT05924217
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses a survey to understand why transgender men (people assigned female at birth who identify as male) in France may not get screened for cervical cancer. Researchers will ask 300 participants aged 25–65 about their screening history and what helps or hinders them. The goal is to identify barriers and solutions to make screening more accessible.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal specific obstacles and levers to improve cervical cancer screening rates among transgender men, helping reduce healthcare inequalities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in screening programs, and results may not apply outside France.
