As tests evolve and costs of cancer care rise: reappraising stool-based screening for colorectal neoplasia.
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer screening and treatment are rapidly evolving. Aims To reappraise stool-based colorectal cancer screening in light of changing test performance characteristics, lower test cost and increasing colorectal cancer care costs. METHODS Using a Markov model, we compared faecal DNA testing every 3 years, annual faecal occult blood testing or immunochemical testing, and col...
متن کاملTesting for faecal calprotectin (PhiCal) in the Norwegian Colorectal Cancer Prevention trial on flexible sigmoidoscopy screening: comparison with an immunochemical test for occult blood (FlexSure OBT).
BACKGROUND Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) using guaiac based faecal occult blood tests (FOBT) has an estimated programme sensitivity of >60% but <30% for strictly asymptomatic CRC in a single screening round. In search for improved non-invasive tests for screening, we compared a test for faecal calprotectin (PhiCal) with a human haemoglobin immunochemical FOBT (FlexSure OBT). METHODS I...
متن کاملInterval faecal occult blood testing in a colonoscopy based screening programme detects additional pathology.
BACKGROUND Colonoscopic based surveillance is recommended for patients at increased risk of colorectal cancer. The appropriate interval between surveillance colonoscopies remains in debate, as is the "miss rate" for colorectal cancer within such screening programmes. AIMS The main aim of this study was to determine whether a one-off interval faecal occult blood test (FOBT) facilitates the det...
متن کاملComparison of a guaiac based and an immunochemical faecal occult blood test in screening for colorectal cancer in a general average risk population.
BACKGROUND The guaiac faecal occult blood test (G-FOBT) is recommended as a screening test for colorectal cancer but its low sensitivity has prevented its use throughout the world. METHODS We compared the performances of the reference G-FOBT (non-rehydrated Hemoccult II test) and the immunochemical faecal occult blood test (I-FOBT) using different positivity cut-off values in an average risk ...
متن کاملAssociation between socioeconomic deprivation and colorectal cancer screening outcomes: Low uptake rates among the most and least deprived people
BACKGROUND Screening with faecal occult blood tests reduces colorectal cancer-related mortality; however, age, sex and socioeconomic factors affect screening outcomes and could lead to unequal mortality benefits. The aim of this study was to describe the main outcomes of the population-based Barcelona colorectal cancer screening programme (BCRCSP) by deprivation. METHODS Retrospective study o...
