Description

Chatterjee wrote a scoping review in two thousand twenty-five on links between sexual assault and cancer. Assault is a worldwide health problem with long physical and mental effects. Its mental health toll is well documented; newer evidence suggests it may also raise cancer risk through body, behavior, and care-access paths.

The review gathered studies from two thousand to two thousand twenty-five that reported cancer outcomes in survivors. Twelve studies qualified. Survivors took part in cervical and breast screening at markedly lower rates, had higher rates of cancer-related infections, and showed greater odds of cancer or pre-cancer. The author maps where the evidence is firm and where it is thin.
