Barriers for appropriate cancer screening for older women exist for both the provider and the patient; however, many of these obstacles can be overcome. Improving the resident's exposure to the current recommendations, increasing geriatric content in the training program, and initiating a reminder system may reduce some of the provider barriers. The use of midlevel providers may increase the preventive services offered to older women as well as educate and empower these women to become responsible for their own healthcare. Together, physicians and midlevel providers can become patient advocates through political activism, encouraging legislation that guarantees payment for cancer screening tests. Finally, primary care providers can become actively engaged in research that explores the healthcare concerns of older women.
