Comparison of intervals between colonoscopic examinations in Familial Colorectal Cancer: The Dutch FAmilial ColorecTal cancer Surveillance study (the FACTS study) Group


ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Five to ten percent of all cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) are caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors; these cases are collectively referred to as ‘familial CRC’. Colonoscopic surveillance is recommended for individuals with familial CRC. However, the appropriate screening interval (between colonoscopic examinations) has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was to compare a 3-year with a 6-year screening interval. Who can participate? 500 adults aged 45-65, with a family history of CRC. What does the study involve? Participants will get a colonoscopy at enrollment in the study to determine if they have certain types of polyps (adenomas) that could become cancerous. These will be removed. If participants have 3 or more adenomas, next colonoscopies will be scheduled after 3 and 6 years. If participants have 0, 1 or 2 adenomas, they are randomly assigned to 2 study groups: follow-up colonoscopy in group A will be scheduled after 6 years, while in group B follow-up colonoscopies will be scheduled after 3 and 6 years. Comparisons between the groups A and B will be made for the presence of advanced adenomas (which have a higher potential of becoming cancerous but are not yet cancerous). This will help us define the interval to recommend between 2 colonoscopies.
