Transcription

1 Updates in Colorectal Cancer Screening & Prevention Swati G. Patel, MD MS Assistant Professor of Medicine Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Gastrointestinal Cancer Risk and Prevention Clinic University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center

2 None Disclosures

3 Objectives Review colorectal cancer epidemiology Understand colorectal cancer screening options and recommendations Understand risk of colorectal cancer based on family history

4 A few patients I am healthy! I have no symptoms or problems. I don t think I could have colon cancer. I don t ever want a colonoscopy. Is there another test I can do instead? Colonoscopy is too risky for me!!

5 Colorectal Cancer Incidence & Mortality

6 Colorectal Cancer Symptoms Change in bowel habits/stool caliber Blood in stool Unintentional weight loss Fatigue Iron deficiency anemia Abdominal pain NONE!! Change in bowel habits/stool caliber Blood in stool Unintentional weight loss Fatigue Iron deficiency anemia Abdominal pain NONE!!

11 Colorectal Cancer Screening

12 Colorectal Cancer Screening Options Stool-based tests Structural Tests Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) Fecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) Stool DNA (Cologuard) CT Colonography Barium Enema Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Colonoscopy

13 Colorectal Cancer Screening & Prevention Structural Test Stool-Based Test

14 Colorectal Cancer Screening Options Stool-based tests Structural Tests Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) Fecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) Stool DNA (Cologuard) CT Colonography Barium Enema Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Colonoscopy

15 Stool-Based Tests Detect microscopic blood in the stool Performed annually If positive colonoscopy FOBT Non-specific (human vs non-human hemoglobin; location in GIT) Dietary (red meat, poultry, fish, raw vegetables) & medication restriction (NSAIDs) Three successive smears FIT Human globin No restrictions Single sample

16 Stool-Based Testing Performance Sensitivity CRC Sensitivity Adenoma Hemoccult II 13% - 50% 8% - 20% Cost Compliance Hemoccult SENSA 50% - 79% 21% - 35% $ % FIT 75 % - 80% 15% - 44% $ %

17 Stool-Based Testing Efficacy Trial Screening Follow-up (years) N CRC Incidence CRC Mortality All-Cause Mortality Nottingham Scholefield et al Biennial , vs 1.53/1000 person yr NS 0.87 ( , p=0.010) 1.01 ( ) NS Funen Kronborg et al Biennial 17 61, ( ) NS 0.84 ( , p<0.05) 0.99 ( ) NS Goteborg Lindholm et al Biennial , ( ) NS 0.84 ( , p<0.05) 1.02 ( ) NS Minnesota Mandel et al. 1999, 2000 Annual (A) & Biennial (B) 18 46,551 A: 0.8 ( , p<0.001) B: 0.83 ( , p=0.002) A: 0.67 ( , p<0.05) B: 0.79 ( , p<0.05) 342 ( ) A: 340 ( ) B: 343 ( ) NS

18 Stool-Based Tests Advantages Low risk, non-invasive No bowel preparation Home testing Inexpensive Disadvantages Not designed to detect pre-cancerous lesions Requires annual testing High false positive rates TWO STEP TEST

19 Colorectal Cancer Screening Options Stool-based tests Structural Tests Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) Fecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) Stool DNA (Cologuard) CT Colonography Barium Enema Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Colonoscopy

20 Colonoscopy Insertion of a flexible scope to visualize the entire rectum and colon Can diagnose cancer and perform biopsies Can detect and remove potentially precancerous polyps Requires a bowel preparation to cleanse the colon Clear liquids day before procedure Bowel preparation evening before and day of procedure (split dose) Sedation given during the procedure Requires day off life/work Requires escorted transportation

21 Colonoscopic Polypectomy

22 Colonoscopy Performance Considered the gold standard Not perfect 2-12% of large polyps are missed May not be as protective of cancer on the right side of the colon OR 0.58 (CI ) OR 0.24 (CI )

23 Colonoscopy Quality Specialty/Training Personality (vigilance, conscientiousness) Procedural/motor skills Knowledge base Endoscopist Factors Patient factors Bowel preparation Tumor biology System factors Technical factors Financial Organizational High-definition scopes Image enhancement Devices (cap, endocuff) Chromoendoscopy

24 Colonoscopy Quality

25 Colonoscopy Efficacy No randomized controlled trials to date Indirect evidence: National Polyp Study: 76-90% reduction in CRC incidence after polypectomy VA study: lower endoscopy within past 6 years associated with 60% reduction in CRC mortality FOBT & Flexible Sigmoidoscopy trials Current trials underway: VA CONFIRM (Colonoscopy vs FIT) Spanish trial (Colonoscopy vs FIT) Nordic-European Initiative (Colonoscopy vs no screening)

26 Colonoscopy Risks Perforation 0.5/1,000 Bleeding 2.6/1,000 Death 2.9/100,000

31 Colonoscopy Advantages Can visualize the entire colon Diagnose and remove lesions Performed every 10 years Minimal patient discomfort SINGLE STEP TEST Disadvantages Invasive, procedural risks Sedation required Time consuming, expensive Full bowel preparation Operator, preparation dependent

32 Colorectal Cancer Screening Options Stool-based tests Structural Tests Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) Fecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) Stool DNA (Cologuard) CT Colonography Barium Enema Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Colonoscopy

33 What is the best screening test?

34 ACS-MSTF-ACR-AGA > 50: FS every 5 years +/- FOBT every year -Or- High Sensitivity FOBT/FIT every year -Or- Colonoscopy every 10 years -Or- CT Colonography every 5 years -Or- Fecal DNA every 3 years USPSTF 50-75: FS every 5 years with interval High Sensitivity FOBT/FIT -Or- High Sensitivity FOBT/FIT every year -Or- Colonoscopy every 10 years

35 A few patients I am healthy! I have no symptoms or problems. I don t think I could have colon cancer. I don t ever want a colonoscopy. Is there another test I can do instead? Colonoscopy is too risky for me!!

36 Family history and CRC

37 Increased Risk Group Definition Modality Starting Age/ Interval ACS/MSTF/ ACR 1 FDR > 60 CRC/Adenoma Any 40/Average risk intervals 2 SDR CRC any age ASGE 1 FDR > 60 CRC/Adenoma ACG 1 FDR > 60 CRC/Adenoma Colonoscopy Colonoscopy Preferred 40/Average risk intervals 50/ Average risk intervals NCCN 1 FDR > 60 CRC Colonoscopy 50/ q 5-10 yrs 1 SDR < 50 CRC 1 FDR Adv Adenoma

38 CRC Risk Categories Based on Family History Average Risk Increased Risk High Risk Hereditary Risk No Personal or family history of colon polyps or colorectal cancer (CRC) One first-degree relative with CRC/Adenoma over the age of 60 Two second degree relatives with CRC any age One first-degree relative with CRC/Adenoma younger than age 60 Two or more first degree relatives with CRC/Adenoma, any age Three or more family members with colorectal cancer Multiple other cancer types in the family Young ages of onset of cancers (less than 50) Age 50, any screening test Age 40-50, colonoscopy every 5-10 years Age 40, colonoscopy every 5 years Referral to Genetics Expert

39 Take home points Colon cancer is common and lethal Colon cancer is preventable! There are a menu of stool-based and structural CRC screening options The best option is the one your patient will commit to! Family history of CRC may increase a patient s risk
