DO WE HAVE TO CHOOSE ?

• FS once in the lifetime:

about 4 hours devoted to screening, to

reduce by 33% the risk of getting CRC

• Proportion of regular participants in FIT

screening is about the same as with a

single FS

so comparable impact on risk reduction at

the population level, but likely higher

among FS attenders

• Reduced NHS and patient’s costs

Colon capsule study

Aims

Sensitivity and specificity of PILL-CAM COLON2 for • advanced adenomas • CRC among FIT positive screened subjects Complete and rapid videos assessed

• A sample size of 400 subjects, considering a 33% (8% CRC and 25% advanced adenomas) of FIT and assuming the colonoscopy results as the gold standard, would allow to achieve a precision oPPV f the estimated Pill-Cam sensitivity equal to + 8% for advanced adenomas and + 5% for CRC+ advanced adenomas • For unblinded comparisons, we can estimate the relative performance of PillCam and TC, taking advantage of the paired design, which would allow to detect differences of at least 5% in the DR

Thank you for the attention

Dimensions of comparison and/or integration of CRC screening

programmes with FIT and/or FS

1. Outcomes by age and length of time :in the general and in the screened

population

- incidence and stage distribution

- mortality,

- overall (cumulative) detection rate,

- interval cases for FIT (cumulative) and FS

………Time: effect of screening in 10-30 years interval for FS and FIT

2. Population perspective: observed cumulative uptake and detection rate of

advanced adenomas and cancer in FIT screening and FS screening,

from age at FS and before

3. Individual perspective: expected risk of incidence and mortality of CRC at

individual level for FIT and FS screening by age and gender.

4. Endoscopy workload: FS workload, cumulative proportion of

colonoscopies in FIT and FS screening (including postpolypectomy

surveillance), overall endoscopy workload (range)

5. cost of FIT per screen detected advanced adenomas and cancer,

according to cumulative detection rates at screening, and cost of FS per

screen detected lesions

6.Screening strategies in areas with no active organized screening programme

7. Screening strategies in areas with active organized screening programme

- active and high coverage FIT screening programme

- active and low coverage FIT screening programme

- active FS low coverage screening programme

- active FS high coverage screening programme

8.Screening with integration of FS and FIT:

- sequential approach (invite to FS and offer to the FIT to refuters)

- individual choice (FS or FIT )

- combined approach (Five FITs between 50- 58 years and than once only FS)

- combined approach ( FS at 58-60 years and FIT every two years up to 70-75 yrs)

- any other combination

9. Which studies, pilot studies and/or monitoring systems
