Improving Followup of Abnormal Colon Cancer Screening Tests

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to determine whether direct mailings to patients with positive fecal occult blood tests can increase rates of performing followup colonoscopy.

Study of In-home Tests for Colorectal Cancer

Project description:The objective of this study is to compare the performance characteristics or accuracy of different in-home screening tests for colorectal cancer (fecal occult blood tests), among patients without symptoms of colorectal cancer. Patients who meet study eligibility criteria and agree to participate in the study are asked to perform one guaiac and two immunochemical fecal occult blood tests at home prior to their colonoscopy. After the patient has completed and sent in the test kits, the patient then undergoes their previously scheduled colonoscopy. Accuracy and performance characteristics for each type of fecal occult blood test, including sensitivity, specificity, test positivity rate and positive predictive value for advanced colorectal neoplasia (advanced colorectal polyps) or colorectal cancer, will be estimated by comparing the fecal occult blood test results with the results of the colonoscopy.

Screening Tests in Detecting Colorectal Cancer

Project description:RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors detect cancer cells early and plan more effective treatment for colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized screening trial to compare the effectiveness of fecal occult blood testing with that of DNA-based testing of stool and blood in identifying colorectal cancer.

Interventions to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening

Project description:We will evaluate if we can increase colorectal cancer screening rates by directly sending screening tests to patients rather than waiting for them to come to clinic visits. We are also evaluating a new test--fecal immunochemical tests--which does not require patients to make dietary or medication changes. We will see if patients are more likely to complete these tests than the standard fecal occult blood tests.

Improving Fecal Occult Blood Test Completion Rates Among Veterans

Project description:This is a 4-arm cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether patient financial incentives directly integrated into primary care can improve fecal occult blood test (FOBT) completion rates. We will recruit primary care patients at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center (PVAMC) in 2 stages. In stage 1, we hypothesize that, compared to usual care, $5, $10, $20 incentives will each lead to a statistically significant increase in the rate of FOBT completion. We also hypothesize that there will be a direct dose-response relationship between the incentive amount and rates of FOBT completion. In stage 2, we hypothesize that a lottery-based incentive and a raffle-based incentive will both lead to a statistically significant increase in the rate of FOBT completion compared to a fixed payment incentive with an equivalent dollar per patient value.

Effectiveness of Direct-to-Patient Outreach on Colorectal Cancer Screening Within a Low Income and Diverse Population

Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine if the direct mailing of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) kits to patients who are due for colorectal cancer screening is an effective way to improve colorectal cancer screening rates within a low income and racially/ethnically diverse population.

Comparing colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and fecal occult blood test for colorectal cancer screening

Project description:Study hypothesis: Comparisons of attendance, detection rates and acceptability of total colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and fecal occult blood test (FOBT) as primary screening tests for colorectal cancer. Primary outcome(s): Attendance and detection rate to total colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and FOBT as primary screening tests.

Colonoscopy Followup After Positive Fecal Occult Blood Test- Understanding Barriers to Adherence

Project description:Approximately 40% of members with a positive fecal occult blood result do not continue to followup colonoscopy in Meuhedet. The purpose of this study is to identify the structural, process, carer and patient related causes of undertreatment and suggest appropriate organisational interventions. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the investigators will identify organisational and personal barriers to completion of followup of positive FOBT.

SMS Reminders for Positive FOBT Follow-up

Project description:A randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of 3 mobile telephone text message reminders on followup colonoscopy 120 days after a positive fecal occult blood test among Meuhedet members aged 50-74 who tested positive in 2016.

Pilot Study of Colon Cancer Screening Tests

Project description:Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in North America. These deaths are preventable with proper screening. Fecal occult blood testing, virtual colonoscopy, and standard (optical) colonoscopy are all options for colon cancer screening, but it is not known which is the best at preventing death from colon cancer. A large study comparing these three tests is desperately needed. In this pilot study, the investigators want to find out what percentage of patients will show up for their screening test once enrolled. This will provide crucial information for the successful execution of the larger study.
