Abstract

The article presents a study that compared the barriers to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening with the barriers to breast and cervical cancer screening in Great Britain. The researchers surveyed the middle-aged women on the factors and barriers of cancer screening tests. The study indicated many shared barriers in cancer screening tests but suggested to improve CRC screening by addressing the unpleasantness of stool sampling.
