Core Tip	The objective of this review is to suggest gendered innovations to improve colorectal cancer outcomes. Women are more prone to right-sided colon cancer than men, which is associated with more aggressive form of neoplasia compared to left-sided colon cancer. Genetic and epigenetic factors as well as dietary habits play roles in sex-specific differences in colorectal cancer risk. We also suggest that socio-cultural environments partly explain gender-specific differences in colorectal cancer risk. Therefore, sex- and gender-specific strategies for research methods as well as protocols for screening, treatment, and prevention should be established to reduce the morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer in women.
