Smoking significantly increases colorectal cancer risk in women to a greater degree than it does in men

Although smoking and alcohol both increase likelihood for colorectal cancer, there are gender differences in the effects of the two environmental risk factors, according to a presentation at the annual meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology.

“Understanding interactions between genetic and environmental factors, such as smoking and alcohol use, is critical for colorectal cancer risk stratification, and will help us design effective screening strategies,” said presenter Anna L. Zisman, MD.

Dr. Zisman and her American colleagues looked at women’s susceptibility compared with men’s using a large database from over 350 teaching and community hospitals. In regression analysis of gender, tobacco and alcohol use, they found that while age of onset of colorectal cancer was slightly younger in males than females in the non-smoking/non-drinking group, current smokers had a markedly decreased age of presentation for both men and women. Similarly, alcohol use was associated with an earlier age of diagnosis in males and females.

An assessment of the differential sensitivity to smoking and alcohol use in men and women revealed that women are sensitive to smoking as a risk factor for colorectal cancer but not alcohol. “We can see that while both men and women who use tobacco and alcohol are diagnosed with colorectal cancer at an earlier age, the effect of tobacco is significantly greater in women,” said Zisman.
