Abstract

AIM: To compare participation in breast, cervical and prostate cancer screening with colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.

MATERIALS & METHODS: This random digit-dialed survey includes participants (aged 50-75 years) from South Carolina (USA). Past participation information in fecal occult blood test, flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, mammography, clinical breast examination, Pap test, prostate-specific antigen and digital rectal examination was obtained.Adjusted odds ratios are reported.

RESULTS: Among European-American women, any cervical or breast cancer screening was associated with adherence to any CRC screening. Among African-American women, mammography was associated with adherence to any CRC screening. Digital rectal examination and prostate-specific antigen tests were associated with adherence to any CRC screening test among all men.

CONCLUSION: Future research should explore approaches inclusive of cancer screening recommendations for multiple cancer types for reduction of cancer screening disparities.

Keywords: breast cancer screening; cervical cancer screening; colorectal cancer screening; health disparities; prostate cancer screening
