Colorectal Cancer Screening Update Douglas K. Rex, M.D. Indiana University Medical Center Indianapolis, IN
WHO classification of serrated lesions • Hyperplastic polyps • Sessile serrated adenomas (polyps) • With cytological dysplasia • Without cytological dysplasia • Traditional serrated adenoma
What is the Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR)? • 2002 USMSTF • Normal colons persons age ≥ 50 y (no resection or IBD) • % of patients with one or more adenomas detected • Targets: ≥ 25% in men and ≥ 15 % in women • Rex et al AJG 2002;97:1296-308 • 2006 ACG/ASGE Task Force • Altered to make the target population screening colonoscopies • Rex et al GIE;2006;63:S16-28
Operator dependence – cancer preventionKaminski et al NEJM2010;362:1795-803
Post-Polypectomy Surveillance (assumes good prep, exam to cecum) CategoryInterval • One or two TA < 1cm 5-10 y • Follow up normal: 5-10 y • 3-10 adenomas, any 3 yvillous component, HGD • Follow up normal: 5y (indefinitely) • > 10 adenomas <3 y • Large sessile adenoma 2-6 mo removed piecemeal Winawer, Gastroenterology 2006
ADR-Interval Interaction High ADR: patients doubly protected Low ADR: patients doubly unprotected Colons are poorly cleared More patients are told they are normal and can return at long intervals • Colons are better cleared • More patients come back at earlier intervals
How is colorectal cancer screening done in the U.S.? • Colonoscopy √ • FOBT (FIT) √ • Flexible sigmoidoscopy no • Barium enema no • CT colonography no • Fecal DNA testing no
Is there another technology that is better for screening? • Another that is more effective? • Another that is more cost-effective? • Another that costs less? • Another that results in better adherence? • Is there another technology that is less operator dependent?
RCT of FIT vs g-FOBT • 20,623 screenees • RCT of FIT (OC-Sensor) vs g-FOBT (HII) • Adherence 59.6% vs 46.9% (HII) • Positivity 5.5% vs 2.4% (HII) Van Rossum; GASTRO 2008;135:82

RCT of FIT vs g-FOBT • 20,623 screenees • RCT of FIT (OC-Sensor) vs g-FOBT (HII) • Adherence 59.6% vs 46.9% (HII) • Positivity 5.5% vs 2.4% (HII) Van Rossum; GASTRO 2008;135:82
Issues about FIT • Which FITs in the U.S. have the best performance characteristics?
Fecal DNA Tests • 1.0 • APC, k-ras, p 53, DIA, BAT-26 • Imperiale NEJM 2004;351:2704-14 • 1.1 • 1.0 plus gel-based DNA capture and stabilization of DIA • Whitney J Mol Diag 2004;6:386-95 • 2.0 • DIA plus Vimentinhypermethylation • Itzkowitz CGH; 2007;5:111-7
Performance of the Fecal DNA Versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 1.0 1.1 2.0
CT colonography • USPSTF declines to recommend coverage • Extracolonic findings • Radiation risk • CMS elects not to cover • No data specific to the elderly • No evidence of increased adherence • Cost analysis not favorable
First RCT of Colonoscopy vs CTCNetherlands (abstract 353;DDW 2011) Colonoscopy: 5,924 invited CTC: 2,920 invited Adherence: 32% Advanced adenomas per 100 participants: 5.2 Advanced adenomas per 100 invitees: 1.7 • Adherence: 21% • Advanced adenomas per 100 participants: • 8.4 • Advanced adenomas per 100 invitees: • 1.7
Serum Assays • Epigenomics (SEPT9) • Europe (EpiproColon) • Asia (mS9 Colon Cancer Assay) • U.S. Quest Diagnostics (ColoVantage) • Oncomethylome • Hypermethylation of SYNE1 and FOXE1 • GeneNews • mRNA expression panel • Phenomenome Discoveries • Gastrointestinal tract acids (GTAs)
Serum Tests • Efficacy • Septin 9 (3 well sensitivity): 51% for localized cancer, 75% for regional cancer, 16% for large adenomas • Does not appear better than FIT • Cost – first charges at $300 • Adherence requirements (abstract 220) • Assumes charge of $150 • More effective than FIT if FIT uptake ≤ 85 % • More cost-effective than FIT if FIT uptake ≤ 60%
Capsule colonoscopy • PillCam 2 • Angle of view 172° from each end • Variable frame speed (4-35 fps) • Requires an extensive bowel preparation • Clear liquids • Full colonoscopy prep • Boosters after small bowel entry • Suppository if colon transit slow
Can capsule make an impact? Assets Liabilities Prep efficacy Prep acceptability Initial prep Logistics will require 2 preps if positive Cost (Would CMS cover it?) • Non-invasive • Imaging potential • No radiation • No extracolonic findings • Could be done by PCPs • Could be done at home and on weekends – could by pass MDs entirely
Less operator dependence than colonoscopy? • Flexible sigmoidoscopy no • Barium enema no • CT colonography unclear • FIT yes • Fecal DNA yes
The endoscopist perspective is pre-eminent in the U.S. • Public acceptance of the endoscopic approach rests on evidence of the superior effectiveness of colonoscopy

Polypectomy rates (relative to rates ≤ 10%) – Residual right colon cancer
Right colon protection from colonoscopy • Occurs but is very operator dependent • Is not as great as left-sided protection
Why poor protection in the right colon? • Altered biology • Interval tumors have increased rate of MSI • Interval cancers more likely to be CIMP positive • Technical issues • Poor preparation • Failure to document the cecum • Missing flat and depressed lesions • Missing serrated lesions • Should right colon be retroflexed?
