Abstract:Obesity increases the risk of developing breast and colorectal cancers. Outpatient studies show that patients with obesity receive fewer cancer screenings. It is unknown whether the prevalence of nonadherence to breast and colorectal cancer screening in hospitalized women differs based on obesity status. In addition, perceived barriers and receptivity to breast and colorectal screening among hospitalized women with obesity have not been studied.
