Bowel Cancer

• 3rd most common cancer in UK• 2nd most common in women after breast• 3rd most common in men after lung and prostate• 2nd most common cause of cancer death in UK• 36 766 new diagnoses in 2005• 1 in 20 people in UK during lifetime

Detection

• Flex sig• Colonoscopy• Ba Enema• CT colonography• MR colonography (experimental)• Stool tests (FOB, FIT, eDNA)

Editor's Notebook: Bye-bye, bariumLF RogersNow don’t hang up your lead apron just yet. Admittedly, it’s a stretch to say we are now prepared to abandon barium. There will be ample opportunty for you to get barium in your shoes. But, hard as it may be to imagine, it seems quite possible that volumetric CT techniques, may eventually supplant our morning barium routine.Bye-bye, barium? Who would have thought?

….since April 2004, there has no longer been a viable indication to perform DCBE for examination of our patient population

CTC vs barium enema

• Comfort• Accuracy Sosna AJR 2008

“Diminutive polyps”

• 6mm threshold • Low likelihood of malignancy• False positives• Costs

Screening and surveillance for the early detection of colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps, 2008: a joint guideline from the American Cancer Society, the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer, and the American College of Radiology.

Gastroenterology. 2008 May

The following options are acceptable choices for colorectal cancer screening in average-risk adults beginning at age 50 years FSIG with insertion to 40 cm or to splenic flexure Every 5 yearsCSPY Every 10 yearsDCBE Every 5 yearsCTC Every 5 years

AGA Institute Position on CT ColonographyMay 2008 Guided by the principle that gastroenterologists should be able to use and manage any technology that can enable them to provide better patient care, the AGA continues to take a leadership role with technologies such as CT colonography. With the best interest of patients in mind, the AGA is monitoring this technology, creating training standards for performance of the study, and establishing coding and reimbursement codes for gastroenterologists who wish to perform the procedure.http://www.gastro.org/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5623

• Radiographers with training in CT colonographic evaluation achieved sensitivity and specificity in polyp detection comparable with that of radiologists. Radiographers can be considered reviewers in the evaluation of CT colonographic images. o Jensch et al AJR2007

Cost (-effectiveness)

• Ba Enema < CT colonography < Optical colonoscopy

• (Screening) o A number of studies assessing the cost-effectiveness of

CTC have been published to date. The majority of findings indicate that CTC is probably not cost-effective when colonoscopy is available, but this conclusion is sensitive to a number of key parameters. Mavranezouli et al Eur Rad 2008
