1 Colorectal Cancer Prevention Quantity and Quality Count Ernesto Drelichman, MD Gastrointestinal Surgery & Endoscopy Providence Hospital

2 Key Messages Colorectal cancer can be prevented Screening reduces mortality from CRC All persons aged 50 years or older should be screened High-risk individuals should begin screening earlier Several effective screening options are available; not screening is no longer an option

3 Key Messages Quality Risk Assessment Consent Screening Study with quality indicators Pathology Communication Computerized Registry Follow up

4 Colon & Rectal Cancer 2 nd leading cause of cancer death 3rd most common cancer overall 147,500 new cases annually 57,100 deaths annually

5 Why Screen?...the primary strategy for preventing colorectal cancer deaths is to detect and remove precancerous polyps or to detect and treat cancer in its earliest stages CDC 2/99

6 Colorectal Carcinogenesis Normal Mucosa Aberrant Crypt Foci Adenoma Cancer T(0) T(10)

7 Staging and Prognosis Stage TNM Grouping 5-Yr. Survival 0 Tis; N0; M0 100% I T1-2; N0; M % II T3-4; N0 M % III Any T; N1-3; M0 40% IV Any T; Any N; M1 5%

8 Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Flat Raised Ulcerated Infiltrating

9 Stage IV Colon Cancer

10 Diagnosis vs Screening People with symptoms or signs that suggest the presence of colorectal cancer or polyps fall outside the domain of screening and should be offered an appropriate diagnostic evaluation.

11 Presentation Proximal (R-side) Ill-defined abd. pain Weight loss Occult bleeding Distal (L-side) Altered bowel habits Dec. stool caliber BRBPR

12 Screening vs Surveillance Screening = Detection of asymptomatic disease in healthy individuals at average risk (e.g. no identifiable risk factors other than age) Surveillance = Search for asymptomatic disease among higher risk individuals (e.g. personal history of polyps or cancer, etc.)

13 Screening Compliance CRC Overall 53% Breast Cancer 77% Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 2001

14 Barriers to Screening Patient Lack of information Low perceived risk Inconvenience Discomfort Expense Provider Lack of information Competing priorities Too many options Access concerns Petersen GM - Gastroenterol Clin North Am 2002;31: Vernon SW - J Natl Cancer Inst 1997;89:

16 Katie s first colonoscopy "It really didn't hurt"

17 Screening Options Interval Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) 1 year Flexible sigmoidoscopy 5 years FOBT/Flex. Sig. 1 year/5 years Barium enema (DCBE) 5 years Colonoscopy 10 years Choice of screening tests should be suited to the situation.

18 IDEAL SCREENING TEST Detect all curable cancers Detect and allows excision adenomas Available, acceptable, safe Affordable and cost effective Providers must tailor to patients

19 FOBT Detect the pseudoperoxidase activity of heme Sensitivity neoplasms = 15% to 30% Poor specificity and high false positives

20 A better FIT Noninvasiveness No prep No diet restrictions Sensitivities of 66% for detecting cancer and 27% for detecting advanced polyps and a specificity of 95% Cost $18 and $30 Medicare reimbursed Morikawa T et al Gastroenterology. 2005;129:422-8

21 DNA Detect gene mutations in tumor cells sloughed into stool Noninvasiveness No prep No diet restrictions

22 DNA The DNA panel Sensitivity for invasive cancers = 40.8% Hemoccult P<0.001 = 14.1 percent Expensive Imeriale et al. N Engl J Med. 2004;351:

23 Barium Enema Screening No sedation required Reasonable sensitivity for cancer (83%) 1 1 Rex, et al. - Gastroenterology 1997;112:17-23; 2 Winawer, et al. - N Engl J Med 2000 Jun 15;342(24):

24 Barium Enema Screening Low Specificity - frequent need for repeat bowel prep and colonoscopy Lipoma Large fold Residual stool Poor sensitivity for polyps > 10 mm (48%) 2 1 Rex, et al. - Gastroenterology 1997;112:17-23; 2 Winawer, et al. - N Engl J Med 2000 Jun 15;342(24):

25 Virtual Colonoscopy Lack of consensus about its role in screening. Sensitivity 60% for cancer detection

26 SCREENING COLONOSCOPY If the result of a screening test is abnormal, physicians should recommend a complete colonic Evaluation: Colonoscopy Ko, Hyman Dis Colon Rectum 2006; 49: 1 3

27 COLONOSCOPY SCREENING IN THE U.S. Recommended as an option in 1997 Proposed as the preferred method of screening by ACG in 2000 Reimbursement by Medicare in 2001

28 Advantages Colonoscopy Gold Standard for Quality Highest sensitivity and specificity Entire colorectum assessed Neoplasms can be biopsied and/or removed during the screening exam (no follow-up testing required)
