ColonCancerCheck (CCC)
First population-based, organized colorectal screening program of its kind in Canada
Goals:
• To reduce deaths from colorectal cancer through an organized screening program; • To support health care providers in providing the best possible colorectal cancer screening for their patients 3
Ontario Cancer Statistics 2013
Cancer Type
Colorectal
Incidence (# New Cases)
4,800 (M) 4 3,900 (F)
Mortality (# Deaths)
1,850 (M) 1,500(F)
4
Burden of Disease
• In Ontario, an estimated 8,700 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed and 3,350 people will die from it in 2013 • Incidence of colorectal cancer in Canada is similar to other developed countries, and is among the highest in the world
5
Burden of Disease
• Approximately 93% of cases are diagnosed in people aged 50 years and older • 5-year relative survival rate for colorectal cancer has improved over the past decade in Canada
6
Effectiveness of Screening
Cancer Site
Colorectal
Effectiveness of Screening
With FOBT: 15% reduction in mortality with biennial screening
Type of Studies
Randomized controlled trials
7
Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence
• Majority of colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps • Progression to invasive cancer takes 10 years on average
8
Recommended Screening
Average Risk:
fecal occult blood test (FOBT) • Men and Women age 50 to 74 • Biennial (every 2 years) • Follow up abnormal FOBT with colonoscopy
9
Recommended Screening
Increased Risk:
Colonoscopy • One or more first-degree relatives with a history of colorectal cancer • Begin at age 50, or 10 years earlier than age relative was diagnosed, whichever is first
10
FOBT and Colonoscopy
Average risk patients
: • with a negative (normal) colonoscopy should not be screened for
10 years
• following which screening should resume using
either
FOBT or colonoscopy
11
Evidence for Screening Using FOBT
A meta-analysis of 3 randomized clinical trials shows that regular screening with FOBT reduces colorectal cancer mortality by 15%
12
ColonCancerCheck (CCC)
Program
Goals
• Reduce mortality through an organized screening program • Improve capacity of primary care to participate in comprehensive colorectal cancer screening
13
CCC Program Features
• Colonoscopy and FOBT quality standards • Increased colonoscopy capacity across Ontario • Primary care provider awareness • Program-branded FOBT kits • Financial incentives for family physicians
14
CCC Program Features Patient correspondence:
Initiatives to assist with follow-up of abnormal results • FOBT result letters • Recall/reminder letters • Invitation letters to people age 50 to 74
15
CCC FOBT Process
• At home test • No bowel prep • Only one dietary restriction – vitamin C
Clean sample Sample one area Smear first window 16
CCC FOBT Process
• Three different bowel movements • Record date and time on each flap in ink • Complete and mail within 10 days of first sample
Sample two area Smear second window Date and time in ink 17
CCC FOBT Process
• Personal info matches requisition • Place Kit in foil envelope and seal • Include foil envelope and requisition
Use foil lined envelope Include all pieces Mail Canada Post 18
Assessing Risk
Assess for colorectal cancer (CRC) signs and symptoms Symptoms (high risk of CRC) Refer to colonoscopy; FOBT not appropriate No symptoms; 1 or more 1 st degree relatives with CRC (increased risk of CRC) Refer to colonoscopy; start at 50 years of age or 10 years before age of relative’s diagnosis Age 50 to74; no symptoms; no affected 1 st degree relatives (average risk of CRC) FOBT every 2 years 19

ColonCancerCheck
• In Ontario, what is the recommended screening test for colorectal cancer if the individual is 50+ and has no family history of CRC and no signs or symptoms?
1.
Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) 2.
Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) 3.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy 4.
Colonoscopy 23
Clinical Case Study 1
A 54-year-old asymptomatic male comes in for his periodic health visit
What screening test would you suggest for him?
24
Clinical Case Study 2
• A 47-year-old woman inquires about colorectal cancer screening • Her mother was diagnosed at age 65 with colorectal cancer
What would you suggest?
