Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of computed tomography colonography (CTC) for a colorectal cancer screening program in a working population (aged 40–60 years) from a health care payer’s perspective in Japan. Methods: A Markov model for colorectal cancer was constructed to estimate the long-term (10-year, 20-year, and 30year) effect of introducing CTC for three different strategies ...
BACKGROUND Although colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis is improved by early diagnosis, screening rates remain low. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of an automated telephone intervention on completion of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT). RESEARCH DESIGN In this randomized controlled trial conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northwest, a not-for-profit health maintenance organization, 5905 eligi...
This study examined colon cancer screening knowledge and potential covariates (demographic, health, health care, and cancer information seeking) among adults of at least 45 years of age. Data were analyzed from the 2003 National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 2003), a U.S. random-digit dial study. Our sample consisted of 3,131 adults (53.6% female, 7...
Colon cancer (CC) screening is important for diagnosing early stage for malignancy and therefore potentially reduces mortality from this disease because the cancer could be cured at the early disease stage. Early detection is needed if accurate and cost effective diagnostic methods are available. Mortality from colon cancer is theoretically preventable through screening. The Current screening m...
Downlo kground: We aimed to define the potential of the fecal DNA assay as an alternative or in addition to rrently used immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) for the early diagnosis of colorectal . thods: A total of 560 individuals aged 50 to 69 years with a positive iFOBT were recruited from an FOBT regional screening program. Twenty-six were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, 264 with i...
The incidence of colorectal cancer is rising and increasing public awareness of this condition has stimulated interest in screening tests. Colorectal cancer is treatable and curable in its early stages and clear benefits are present if the cancer can be detected in its early stages. Sensitivity of the faecal occult blood test (FOBT) by immunochemical techniques for colorectal (CRC) cancer scree...
BACKGROUND We aimed to define the potential of the fecal DNA assay as an alternative or in addition to the currently used immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. METHODS A total of 560 individuals aged 50 to 69 years with a positive iFOBT were recruited from an Italian FOBT regional screening program. Twenty-six were diagnosed with adenocar...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancers worldwide. Despite the improved therapeutic and diagnostic strategies and screening programs, morbidity and mortality of CRC is still considerable. Currently, most common approaches for diagnosis of CRC are colonoscopy and fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Because of the invasive nature of colonoscopy and low sensitivity of FOBT, ...
We examined prevalence and correlates of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) uptake in a sample of men and women aged 50 to 70 years without a personal history of cancer (n=15,810). The data was collected in 2004 through the Health Care Access Panel (HCAP), a nationally generalizable survey of German households. A pronounced gender difference in FOBT use emerged. Women reported regular use more o...
