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 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) • Inflammatory Bowel Disease
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 enema Rigid sigmoidoscopy
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. 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 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 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
2. Surveillance* Disease Group Procedure First Screening Repeat 1 -2 ; both< 1 cm Colonoscopy None or at 5 yrs Stop after one negative 3 -4; or at least 1> 1 cm Colonoscopy Three years 3 yearly till two Negative >4 or > 2 with 1 at least >1 cm Colonoscopy One year Annually till out of this grp IBD Colonoscopy & Bx every 10 cm 8 yrs-pancolitis 2 nd dec- 3 yrly 15 yrs- left sided 3 rd dec- 2 yrly >3 rd - annually FAP Genetic test + OGD + Flexi Puberty Annually 2 FDR or 1 FDR < 45 yrs Colonoscopy 1 st visit or 35 - 40 yrs If initial Colonoscopy clear then at 55 Colon Adenoma * BSG Guidelines
3. Population Screening: NHS Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme Due to start from April 2006 35 million £ 8 training centers 650 new endoscopists FOBTsin men & women > 60 years if positive Colonoscopy Flexible Sigmoidoscopy as a pilot study in men > 50
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
Treatment Dukes’ Stage Definition Frequency* 5 year Survival* A Cancer localized within bowel wall 11% 83% B Cancer penetrating bowel wall 35% 64% C Cancer in lymph nodes 26% 38% D Distant metastases 29% 3% Duke A, BDuke CDuke D- Curative surgery attempted Surgery + Adjuvant Chemo Surgery + liver resection (in 8%) or Palliative chemo/radiotherapy or stent *St Vincent Hospital Dublin
