摘要：
Sexual minority women may be at higher risk of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer compared to heterosexual women. In addition, sexual minority women may use preventive cancer-related screening services less than heterosexual women. Using a population-based probability sample of Missouri women, we compared cancer screening behavior of heterosexual (n = 29,847), self-identified lesbian (n = 114), and bisexual (n = 162) women. Sexual minority women were significantly younger by approximately 10 years and comprised less than 1% of the sample. In this sample, sexual minority and heterosexual women did not differ in the proportion having ever obtained breast, cervical or colorectal cancer screenings.
