Financial incentives for bowel cancer screening: Results from a mixed methods study in the United Kingdom
CONCLUSION: The use of small financial incentives to increase bowel cancer screening uptake was generally well received. Impacts of incentives on actual bowel screening rates in UK samples need to be established in the light of the current findings.PMID:34747113 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12570 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

Improving the management of early colorectal cancers (eCRC) by using quantitative markers to predict lymph node involvement and thus the need for major resection of pT1 cancers
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we were able to reduce the potential resection rate of pT1 with the multivariate qualitative and/or quantitative model to 34% or 35% while detecting 95% or 90% of all LNM cases, respectively. While these findings need to be validated, this model could lead to a reduction of the major resection rate in eCRC.PMID:34645701 | DOI:10.1136/jclinpath-2021-207482 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

Implications of colonic and extra-colonic findings on CT colonography in FIT positive patients in the Dutch bowel cancer screening program
CONCLUSIONS: In the Dutch National CRC screening program, a CTC was followed by an endoscopic procedure in more than a quarter of patients, resulting in a significant number of advanced neoplasia. Overall, one out of seven CTCs showed new relevant extra-colonic findings which may lead to further diagnostic/therapeutic work-up. Our results can be important for the informant consent procedure.PMID:34506230 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2021.1966091 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology)

The Moondance Bowel Cancer Project schools initiative
CONCLUSION: This project established that a pilot to create young bowel screening ambassadors is feasible and was positively received by students, their families and the local community. Future work will disseminate the programme further and correlate changes in bowel screening participation in the local area as a result of these events.PMID:34432523 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2020.7151 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Low Referral Rates for Genetic Assessment of Patients With Multiple Adenomas in United Kingdom Bowel Cancer Screening Programs
BACKGROUND:
Approximately 1 in 20 cases of colorectal cancer are caused by monogenic syndromes. Published guidelines recommend that patients with 10 or more adenomas be referred for genetic testing, based on evidence that colorectal cancer risk is associated with adenoma multiplicity.
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to determine adherence to guidelines on referral for genetic screening in patients with 10 or more adenomas.
DESIGN:
A cross-sectional study was performed of prospectively collected data from the UK Bowel Cancer Screening Programme between May 2007 and June 2018. Only histologically confi...

Reality of care of colorectal cancer in the State of Brandenburg : With special consideration of the number of hospital cases and certification as a colorectal cancer center
This study analyzed the number of resected and examined lymph nodes, the quality of total mesorectal excision (TME), the residual tumor (R0) resection rate and the proportion of adjuvant therapy of colon cancer in Union internationale contre le cancer (UICC) stage III depending on the operation quota of hospitals and the certification as bowel cancer center according to Onkozert. Apart from the R status, the analyses showed no differences in the qualitative operation data from the clinical cancer register depending on the hospital volume.PMID:34374822 | DOI:10.1007/s00104-021-01468-9 (Source: Der Chirurg)

Education provision in community setting increases engagement with bowel cancer screening
Educ Prim Care. 2021 Aug 4:1-4. doi: 10.1080/14739879.2021.1932610. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the United Kingdom, colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most prevalent and second most lethal cancer, accounting for 1 in 10 cancer deaths. To address this health burden, the NHS implemented a national screening programme to detect traces of blood in the stool of those at highest risk of CRC - men and women aged over 60. Preliminary data showed that the screening programme reduced CRC death by 16% overall and 23% in those who had returned their kit, highlighting the importance of patient engagement. Worryingly, recent d...
