Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer in women. Screening for CRC increases early detection of cancer and premalignant polyps and decreases morbidity from this disease. However, adherence to the screening guidelines continues to remain inadequate both at the physician and patient levels. Several factors are of special importance to women. Presence of prior gynecological malignancies may increase the risk of CRC in women. Furthermore, new studies have shown other factors such as obesity and smoking to increase the risk of CRC in women. This article highlights issues unique to women with regards to CRC and outlines special considerations for determining screening intervals in women, identifies factors that make screening more difficult in women, and reviews studies that identify preventative strategies which, together with screening, may reduce the burden of CRC.
