Each year colorectal cancer is diagnosed in more women than all types of gynecologic cancer combined. There continues to be a significant need to increase the rate of screening. Obstetrician–gynecologists have a unique opportunity to increase colorectal cancer screening rates among their patients and, thus, favorably affect colorectal cancer morbidity and mortality. Health care providers should counsel patients about the benefits of colorectal cancer screening and recommend colonoscopy every 10 years for either average-risk or high-risk women 50 years and older. The advantages and limitations of other appropriate colorectal cancer screening methods also should be discussed so that women may choose to be tested by whichever method they are most likely to accept and complete.
每年被诊断患有结直肠癌的女性多于所有妇科癌症类型的总和。提高筛查率的需求仍然很大。妇产科医生有一个独特的机会可以提高他们的患者的结直肠癌筛查率，从而有利地影响结直肠癌的发病率和死亡率。医疗保健提供者应向患者介绍结直肠癌筛查的益处，并建议 50 岁及以上的一般风险或高风险女性每 10 年进行一次结肠镜检查。还应讨论其他适当的结直肠癌筛查方法的优缺点，以便女性可以选择接受她们最有可能接受和完成的检查方法。
