Immunochemical FOBT screening for colorectal cancer: yield and attendance for one- versus two-sample tests, and for second round screening with various intervals.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Interventions: 1-sample or 2-samples immunochemical FOBTs.
Firstly, a representative population sample of 2.500 asymptomatic persons between
50-75 years of age in the region ‘Rijnmond’ will be invited for the 1st screening round using 1-sample iFOBT in 2008 and for a 2nd screening round after one year (group A).
Secondly, the 5.000 asymptomatic persons who were invited in our first trial for a 1st-round one-sample iFOBT in 2006/2007 (NTR = 1096), will be invited for 2nd round screening. They will be pre-randomized for biennial (group B) or triennial (group C) 2nd round screening. The attendance rate of these two groups will be compared with the participation of the second screening round from group A.
Furthermore, 3.200 newly randomly selected persons will be invited for a single 1st round screening using 2-sample iFOBT (group D). The attendance rate of this group will be compared with the participation of the first screening round from group A.
Primary outcome(s): Adherence for second round CRC screening with 1-sample iFOBT (OC-Hemodia Latex) comparing annual, biennial, and triennial screening interval.
Adherence and diagnostic yield of a first screening round comparing 1-sample versus 2-sample iFOBT screening.
