UChicago Medicine Primary Care e-Journal Club: Effect of Colonoscopy Screening on Risks of Colorectal Cancer and Related Death

December 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022
This activity will use an asynchronous e-learning model to engage with high-impact updates in primary care literature that will improve patient care.
 
This paper reports the results of NordICC, a pragmatic trial randomizing 84,585 healthy 55- to 64-year-old men and women from Poland, Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands in a 1:2 fashion to receive an invitation to have a screening colonoscopy or receive their usual care. The study enrolled patients from 2009 to 2014 and continued to follow patients for a median of 10 years.
 
Data supporting colonoscopy have relied on cohort studies. Previous estimates from these studies have estimated that colonoscopy screening is associated with a 40 to 69% decrease in colon cancer incidence and a 29 to 88% decrease in colon cancer death. Cohort studies can overestimate the actual benefit of screening because they may not be able to control for factors that can probably lead cohort studies to overestimate the real-world effectiveness of colonoscopy because of the inability to adjust incomplete adherence to screening recommendations. Other colon cancer screening modalities (FOBT, Sigmoidoscopy) have had RCT-level data.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals providing primary care to patients at UChicago Medicine.

Learning Objectives

After this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Compare intention to treat to per-protocol analysis methods for screening tests;
  • Discuss the impact of adherence to real-world screening recommendations;
  • Identify the risks and benefits of colonoscopy.
