Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Systematic screening for cervical cancer stops in France at 65 years old. The incidence of certain types of gynecological neoplasia increases with age (endometrium, vulva). Diagnosis delay of 8 months has been described for uterine cancer and longer delays for vulvar cancer.

The aim of our study is to understand help-seeking behavior and its delay for this type of cancer among patients older than 65.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Our study assess the reasons for which the patient took time to go to the doctor despite of their symptoms. We use a qualitative methodology. Our study categorizes lived experiences, recorded in semistructured interview transcripts. We use psychodynamic and semiopragmatic analyses of the discourse to obtain hypotheses about possible reasons of the delay in the help-seeking process."
