Overview
This study aims to quantify the rates of cervical cancer screening and endometrial sampling prior to gender-affirming hysterectomy, assess the need for these tests in TGD individuals, and explore patient-centered options for these tests. By assessing the status of testing and correlation with hysterectomy pathology, this study will provide preliminary data on the current state of guideline-concordant care and provide initial evidence for the development of evidence-based guidelines in the future
