Colorectal Cancer

General Information

NEWS:

Estrogen may protect against colorectal cancer “The researchers also note that because women were more likely to have proximal tumors (i.e., those closer to the point where the colon joins the small intestine), flexible sigmoidoscopy -- a colon cancer screening test that only examines the lower portion of the colon -- may be less effective in female patients than colonoscopy, in which the entire large intestine is viewed. "Our study revealed that 44 percent of women older than 50 years would not have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer if investigated with flexible sigmoidoscopy," they point out.“
