Colorectal cancer screening utilization among breast, cervical, prostate, skin, and lung cancer survivors

ConclusionsOur findings provide important evidence on potential factors that are associated with guideline-concordant CRC screening  utilization across different cancer survivors, which include older age, recency of routine checkup, and multiple chronic diseases. Moreover, variation in CRC screening utilization across cancer survivors may highlight missed opportunities for secondary cancer prevention.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsEstablishing clear CRC screening guidelines and including patient-provider communication on recommendation in cancer survivorship care may increase adherence to CRC screening.
