Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer in women. Screening has been shown to increase detection and decrease morbidity from this disease, but compliance is poor. This paper reviews special considerations for determining screening intervals in women, factors making screening more difficult in women, and studies reviewing preventative strategies in addition to screening that may reduce CRC.
