Gender Effects on the Impact of Colorectal Cancer Risk Calculators on Screening Intentions: Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT:

Nonetheless, CRC screening remains lower than that for other high-risk cancers such as breast and cervical cancer. Risk calculators are increasingly being used to promote cancer awareness and improve compliance with CRC screening tests.
