Impact of opportunistic screening on squamous cell and adenocarcinoma of the cervix in Germany: A population-based case-control study.

<h4>Background</h4>We investigated the uptake of opportunistic cervical cancer screening (CCS) and other risk factors and their association with cervical cancer in Germany in a case-control study.<h4>Methods and findings</h4>We recruited incident cases of cervical cancer (ICD...
