Social Media for Colorectal Cancer Screening

ABSTRACT: Using social media for health promotion is an innovative and emerging approach but remains relatively unexplored in cancer screening. Uptake of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening remains low and standard methods of reaching out are expensive with limited impact. The objective of this study is to conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effectiveness of social media messages for CRC screening on screening intention (primary outcome). The results of this trial will be of interest to Cancer Care Ontario and are likely to be taken up by other screening programs looking for innovative and novel ways to increase screening participation. The study results will be easily translatable identifying the most compelling CRC screening messages while the approach can easily be translated to other cancer disease sites with screening programs.

WhatsApp Reminder on FIT Compliance

Project description:It is estimated that there are about 1.4 million patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) worldwide, with a rising trend in CRC incidence in many Asian Pacific countries. In Hong Kong, colorectal cancer ranks first in cancer incidence and second in cancer mortality based on data from 2014. Recent guidelines from USA, Europe and Asia Pacific region recommend CRC screening for average-risk asymptomatic individuals starting at age 50. Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT), is one of the recommendation as first-line modality for CRC screening. Since yearly testing is recommended to maintain programmatic effectiveness longitudinal adherence is a critical component of FOBT-based screening programs. Our previous study conducted in Hong Kong showed that the rate of compliance with CRC screening was declining since the first year of enrolment8. In recent years, social media (SM) has become an increasingly popular source of health information. By providing an easily accessible and interactive channel of communication between reviewers and information providers, it has potential values for affecting public health. However, the effects of SM on the compliance of CRC screening by FIT has not yet been studied. WhatsApp Messenger, is the most popular social media messaging app worldwide. This randomized controlled study will investigate the effect of WhatsApp vs no reminder on the compliance of CRC screening by FIT.

Effect of WhatsApp Messenger on Uptake of CRC Screening Study

Project description:It is estimated that there are about 1.4 million patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) worldwide, with a rising trend in CRC incidence in many Asian Pacific countries1. In Hong Kong, colorectal cancer ranks first in cancer incidence and second in cancer mortality based on data from 20142. Recent guidelines from USA, Europe and Asia Pacific region recommend CRC screening for average-risk asymptomatic individuals starting at age 503-5. Modalities such as guaiac-based fecal occult blood tests (gFOBT), fecal immunochemical tests (FIT), flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS), and colonoscopy are among the acceptable options for CRC screening3-5. Department of Health of Hong Kong launched a Colorectal Cancer Screening Pilot Program in late 2016. This is a subsidized program offering primary care consultation with FIT. For those subjects with FIT positive, colonoscopy specialist consultation and colonoscopy will be arranged. The local uptake rate of CRC screening was reported to be 24.5%8 , which is relatively low when compared to other developed county9. In recent years, social media (SM) has become an increasingly popular source of health information10. By providing an easily accessible and interactive channel of communication between reviewers and information providers, it has potential values for affecting public health. However, the effects of SM on uptake of CRC screening has not yet been studied. WhatsApp Messenger, is the most popular social media messaging app worldwide. This randomized controlled study will investigate the effect of WhatsApp vs telephone intervention on the uptake of CRC screening.

A colorectal cancer 3D bioprinting workflow as a platform for disease modelling and chemotherapeutic screening

Project description:We have established an affordable, flexible and highly reproducible 3D bioprinted CRC model. Histological assessment of Caco-2 cells in 3D bioprints revealed the formation of glandular-like structures which show greater pathomorphological resemblance to tumours than monolayer cultures do. RNA expression profiles in 3D bioprinted cells were marked by upregulation of genes involved in cell adhesion, hypoxia, EGFR/KRAS signaling and downregulation of cell cycle programmes. Testing this 3D experimental platform with three of the most commonly used chemotherapeutics in CRC (5-fluoruracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan), revealed overall increased resistance compared to 2D cell cultures. Lastly, we demonstrate that our workflow can be successfully extended to primary CRC samples. Thereby, we describe a novel accessible platform for disease modelling and drug testing, which may present an innovative approach in personalised therapeutic screening.

Can messages based on behavioral economics increase participation in colorectal cancer screening programmes?

Project description:Background and study aims While colorectal cancer (CRC) screening can detect cancer at an early stage, participation in CRC screening programmes is often below recommended levels. In order to be effective, CRC screening programs high participation. There is therefore an interest in studying possible interventions to achieve high participation. While interventions such as pre-notification letters, tailored reminder letters and telephone contact can increase participation, they are often too costly for the screening programmes. Interventions based on behavioural economics only manipulate the decision setting and are therefore potentially cost-neutral. The aim of this study is to test whether messages derived from behavioral economics can increase participation in the context of the Cypriot pilot program for colorectal cancer screening. Who can participate? All residents aged 50-69 years who are eligible for colorectal cancer screening. What does the study involve? In the first study participants are randomly allocated to receive the standard invitation letter with one of six additional behavioral economics-based messages included, or the standard invitation letter with no manipulation. The additional behavioural economics-based messages are built on the following principles: (1) social responsibility to look after own health, (2) anticipated regret of non-attendance, (3) financial opportunity costs of non-attendance, (4) benefit of early detection, (5) limited duration of the offer and (6) social norms. In the second study participants are randomly allocated to receive either the standard invitation letter with the most effective message from the first study, or the standard invitation letter with no manipulation.

Effectiveness of Tel and SMS Reminder on Compliance With CRC Screening

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major global health challenges. CRC is currently the third most common cancer in men and the second common in women worldwide, accounting for approximately 10% of all cancers. Randomized controlled studies have shown that CRC screening using Faecal Occult Blood Testing (FOBT) is effective in reducing cancer mortality by 15-33%. Since yearly testing is recommended to maintain programmatic effectiveness, longitudinal adherence is a critical component of FOBT-based screening programs. The investigators previous study conducted in Hong Kong showed that the rate of compliance with CRC screening was declining since the first year of enrolment. Nevertheless, it remains unknown whether interventions based on reminder systems could effectively enhance longitudinal compliance with FOBT, especially among those who have already enrolled in a CRC screening programme. Current evidence does not adequately compare whether interactive or one-way reminder messages are superior to usual care (i.e. no reminders).

"Touch 2 Screen" Multi-media Colorectal Cancer Screening Intervention

Project description:The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a multi-media presentation and survey to increase screening for colorectal cancer. Content of this presentation is based on the concept of "implementation intentions," an advanced planning model taken from the Theory of Planned Behavior. The multi-media presentation is delivered in a touch-screen computer format and contains messages about colorectal cancer that are tailored to each participant based on individual survey responses. It is hypothesized that tailored messages and defining implementation intentions may have a relationship with completion of colorectal cancer screening.

FGF19 facilitates colorectal cancer metastasis through FGFR4-ERK-NF-κB signaling pathway

Project description:Globally, colorectal cancer(CRC) is the third most common malignancy. In recent years, despite the emergence of new screening and treatment strategies, the prognosis of CRC remains poor and distant metastasis remains a major obstacle to the treatment of CRC. Therefore, it is significant to explore new diagnostic and prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Fibroblast growth factor 19(FGF19) has been reported to promote tumor invasion of CRC. However, the exact mechanism is still unclear.
