- For those at average risk (choosing from the
following) - Annual FOBT
- A sigmoidoscopy every 5 years
- A combination of FOBT and sigmoidoscopy
- A colonoscopy every 10 years or once in a
life-time - For those at increased risk a colonoscopy

13Screening Colonoscopy in the Average Risk
Population
- Visualization of the entire colon, biopsy and
removal of all polyps - Proximal distribution of colonic neoplasm
- Positive FOBT or sigmoidoscopy lead to total
colonoscopy - FOBT alone may prevent fewer cancer deaths than
colonoscopy - Effectiveness 80 compliance by FOBT 50 to
colonoscopy - Once in a lifetime colonoscopy may be preferred
(cost lt 750)
14National polyp study 1978-1993
- A cohort of gt1400 patients who had undergone
colonoscopy and removal of adenomas was followed
by colonoscopy for a mean of 5.9 years. - 70-90 reduction was found in the incidence of
colorectal cancers relative to what was expected
based on 3 different historical control groups. - Winawer, N Engl J Med 19933291977
15Preventive Effect of Colonoscopy
- 5-year incidence of adenomas after negative
colonoscopy in asymptomatic average-risk persons -
- 154 repeated colonoscopies (median 66m),
- 41 (27) patients with adenoma,
- only one gt 1 cm, no cancer!
- Rex, Gastroenterology 1996 1111178-81
16Screening Colonoscopy in the Average Risk
Population
- Visualization of the entire colon, removal of all
polyps - Rising proximal distribution of colonic neoplasm
- Positive FOBT or sigmoidoscopy lead to total
colonoscopy - FOBT alone may prevent fewer cancer deaths than
colonoscopy - Effectiveness 80 compliance by FOBT 50 to
colonoscopy - Once in a lifetime colonoscopy may be preferred

30Inappropriate CRC screeningFisher, AJGE
20051002526 (North Carolina)
- 500 consecutive primary care patients for whom
FOBT had been ordered - 35 - inappropriate (at least one reason)
- 18 - severe co morbid illness
- 13 - GI bleeding
- 7 - history of CRC or IBD
- 5 - had undergone colonoscopy within
- prior 5 years
- 3 - younger than 50 yr

32Proliferation, Differentiation, Apoptosis
- High fat diet soluble fatty acids, bile acids
colonic epithelium cell damage proliferation - Calcium precipitate fatty and bile acids
- Calcium decreases cell proliferation and induces
differentiation
33Chemoprevention preventionstudies
- Intermediate biomarkers
- 1. Early change in proliferation
- number of crypt-proliferating cells
- and an upward shift of the
- proliferative zone
- 2. Late - recurrence of adenomatous
- polyps after polypectomy
34Effect of a diet high in diary foods upon
proliferation (early marker)Holt, JAMA
19982801074
- 70 post polypectomy patients
- Group A diet containing 1200mg Ca/day, Group B
baseline diet - Rectal biopsy 0,6,12 months 3Hthymidine
incorporation into DNA, differentiation markers - Significant lower proliferation, higher
differentiation
35Effect of calcium supplements on recurrence of
adenomas (late marker)Baron, Ann NY Acad Sci
1999889138
- 930 post-polypectomy patients
- Group A 1200mg Ca/day, Group B placebo
- Colonoscopy 1y, 2y
