WHO criteria for population screening

The condition should be an important health problem.Treatment must exist.Latent or early symptomatic stage.Target population.Test validated and acceptableScientific evidence for program effectiveness (RCT)TrainingQuality control

Goals of CRC screening

Detect cancer at an early, curable stage.

Detect and remove adenomatous polyps.

Page 5: Tryggvi Björn Stefánsson Dept of Surgery Landspitali University Hospital.

The Tests1) tests that primarily detect Cancer

gFOBT (guaiac-based fecal occult blood testing)FIT (immunochemical-based FOBT) sDNA (testing stool for exfoliated DNA)

2) tests that can detect cancer and advanced lesions.

Double-contrast barium enema. CT colonography.Flexible sigmoidoscopy. Colonoscopy.

gFOBTFinland

Sensitivity for CRC: 55%* Specificity : 98%* Compliance: 71%* (23%-78%) FOBT+ 2,1%* Cancer in FOBT+ 8,2%*

Highest sensitivity (50%) in the stage of clinical diagnosis**

Very low sensitivity for precancerous lesions

FIT

FIT is superior to gFOBT in terms of compliance and detection of CRC and advanced adenomas.

Rabeneck L et al. Can J Gastroenterol 2012.

FIT+ 5,2%Cancer in FOBT+ 6%

High positivity rate, High sensitivity, low specificity .J. Faivre, European Journal of Cancer, 2012.

sDNAStool DNA test: Finds DNA markers for precancerous

lesions and cancers.

DCBE

48% sensitivity to detect polyps (> 1cm)compared to colonoscopy. Winawer, Gastroenterology, 2000.

Alternative for those who cannot undergo colonoscopy.

SigmoideoscopyInvestigates 60 cm. Removal of all polyps within 60

cm.

Followed by colonoscopy in case of advanced lesions.

Sensitivity and specificity for polyps and cancer is high.

Sensitivity for advanced lesions and CRC in the whole colon : 60-70% of the sensitivity of a colonoscopy.

Lieberman NEJM 2000

Page 14: Tryggvi Björn Stefánsson Dept of Surgery Landspitali University Hospital.

ColonoscopyInvestigates all colon and removal of all

polyps

The main screening method today

Required for confirmation of positive findings from other tests.

Gold standard for assessment of the efficacy of other screening methods.

decrease in incidence and mortality.

Two randomized controlled trials The Spanish trial 55,000 individuals , 50–69 years iFOBT or colonoscopy screening. Started in 2008, results are expected in 2021, after 10 years of follow-up .

TheNordic–European Initiative on Colorectal Cancer (NordICC) multicentre, multinational randomised trial 66,000 individuals colonoscopy or no screening. started screening in 2009. A 15-year follow-up period after screening is

planned,with an interimanalysis after 10 years,due about year 2022

Landspitalinn has been in the NordICC group from the beginning and there has been an interest to contribute to the trial.

Due to opportunistic screening in Reykjavik we are probably not able to take part.

Opportunistic screeningIncreasing !In 10 years ??Are we going to wait for 10 years ?What if there is no difference ?Is it ethical to fight pollution in the control

groups ?The control groups are going to be polluted

whatever we do.

Page 19: Tryggvi Björn Stefánsson Dept of Surgery Landspitali University Hospital.

What can we do in Iceland ?Registry for colonoscopies and polyps

(histology)

Improve the quality of the colonoscopies:Training programmes.Quality control (Gastronet).

Start screening.Preferably with colonoscopy.Within the NordICC study.
