And the problem is increasing…. • Ageing of the population < 45 - very low risk 45 – 55 - 25/100, 000 • Lifestyle Factors More meat , less vegetable Obesity Smoking > 75 - 300/100, 000

Relative Risk of Colon Cancer by Family H/O Family History Category: 1= No family

Relative Risk of Colon Cancer by Family H/O Family History Category: 1= No family H/O; 2= One first degree relative > 45 at diagnosis 3= One first degree relative < 45 at diagnosis 4= Two first degree relatives

Other risk factors……… • Familial Adenomatous Polyposis(FAP) • Hereditary Non polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)

Other risk factors……… • Familial Adenomatous Polyposis(FAP) • Hereditary Non polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) • Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Clinical Presentation Early • PR Bleeding • Persistent change in bowel habits • Anaemia

Clinical Presentation Early • PR Bleeding • Persistent change in bowel habits • Anaemia Usually progresses slowly from polyps over 10 yrs Late • Weight loss 20% arrive through A/E • Abdo pain • Abdo mass

Diagnostic Methods Flexible sigmoidoscopy (can pick up 60% of tumours) Colonoscopy Double contrast barium

Diagnostic Methods Flexible sigmoidoscopy (can pick up 60% of tumours) Colonoscopy Double contrast barium enema Rigid sigmoidoscopy

Newer Diagnostic Method Some evidence better than Barium enema Almost as accurate as Colonoscopy

Newer Diagnostic Method Some evidence better than Barium enema Almost as accurate as Colonoscopy for larger Polyps(>10 mm) only Potential complications (including perforation) similar to other procedures Alternative to Barium enema Useful in frail & elderly as initial screening

Diagnostic Issues: Who to be tested? To pick up cancer /polyp at early stage.

Diagnostic Issues: Who to be tested? To pick up cancer /polyp at early stage. What is the Benefit : Risk Ratio? 1. Symptomatic patients 2. High Risk group (Surveillance) 3. General Population Screening

1. Symptomatic Patients (Urgent Referral Criteria)** Sign, Symptom or Combination Age threshold Rectal bleeding

1. Symptomatic Patients (Urgent Referral Criteria)** Sign, Symptom or Combination Age threshold Rectal bleeding with new diarrhoea for 6 weeks Any age Definite palpable right abdo mass Any age Definite palpable rectal( not pelvic) mass Any age Rectal bleeding WITHOUT anal symptoms > 60 yrs* New diarrhoea WITHOUT rectal bleed for 6 weeks > 60 yr* IDA# ( Hb < 11 in men and < 10 in postmenopausal women) without obvious cause No age criterion *Maximum threshold. Local Network may elect lower values #IDA= Iron Deficiency Anaemia ** Department of health

Which Test for Whom? 1. Rectal bleeding/ : Change in bowel habit (ie left

Which Test for Whom? 1. Rectal bleeding/ : Change in bowel habit (ie left sided symptoms) Flexi sigi (chance of missing cancer is 0. 2%) 2. Right abdo pain IDA : - Colonoscopy if unsuccessful or frail/elderly Barium enema/ CT Colonography 3. Palpable abdo mass : - CT scan or CT Colonography

FOBT (Faecal Occult Blood Test) Reduces Mortality ( 3 American & 2 European RCTs)

FOBT (Faecal Occult Blood Test) Reduces Mortality ( 3 American & 2 European RCTs) Pre test dietary restriction for 3 days (Avoid red meat, horseradish, Vitamin C) High fibre diet advised Six guiac strips to be smeared two each 3 consecutive stool Any amount of blue in any one strip is positive ( Guainoic acid Guanicum blue Haemoglobin
