Abstract

Adult women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) are increasingly likely to defer or decline gonadectomy despite counselling about malignancy risk. The objectives of this study were to review the evidence on the risk of gonadal malignancy in adult women with CAIS and to explore women's reasons for deferring gonadectomy.
