Download or read book CT Colonography Versus Colonoscopy And or Sigmoidoscopy for the Diagnosis and Treatment Planning of Colorectal Cancer written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorectal cancer is the third-ranked neoplasm in order of incidence and mortality worldwide, and it is the second cause of cancer death in industrialized countries. Risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing colorectal cancer include diet, genetic mutations, alcohol abuse, smoking, and being over 50 years of age. In Canada, over 20,000 cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed annually, highlighting the importance of early detection, diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Colorectal cancer can be screened using fecal occult blood testing (FOBT), double contrast barium enema (DCBE), sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. More than 90% of colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps, which are abnormal growths of tissue projecting from the lining of the colon or rectum. Colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy are two procedures that are currently used to detect and locate colon polyps and carcinomas. Computed tomographic colonography (CTC), or virtual colonoscopy, is an imaging technique of the colon involving helical computed tomography and computer software to generate high-resolution two- and three-dimensional images of the inner surface of the colon. CTC is less invasive, requires less bowel preparation, does not require sedation or analgesia, takes less time, and can be performed in patients who have had incomplete colonoscopy or are contraindicated for colonoscopy. Disadvantages of CTC include high cost, high radiation dose, and less sensitivity and specificity than colonoscopy. A previous CADTH report published in 2008 compared the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of colonoscopy to sigmoidoscopy and CTC in the context of colorectal cancer screening. This report found that CTC did not perform as well as colonoscopy in the detection of colorectal lesions, particular for smaller polyp sizes (

Download or read book Colorectal Cancer Screening written by Aasma Shaukat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive overview of quality metrics and methods used to improve quality for all major modalities of CRC screening. It introduces the readers to the evidence of effectiveness behind various CRC screening modalities: stool-based tests (Fecal Occult Blood, Fecal Immunochemical and Fecal DNA tests), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and CT colonography. In-depth chapters review the latest guidelines for CRC screening, compare differences among the five major national guidelines, and highlight the need for valid quality and cost indicators. While the main focus of this volume is on colonoscopy, since most quality indicators and analyses have focused on this modality of screening and surveillance, one chapter is devoted to quality indicators of other screening modalities. Differences between process and outcome measures are also highlighted and a small but valid set of recommended national measures are listed. Written by experts in the field, Colorectal Cancer Screening: Quality and Benchmarks is an important and useful resource written for gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, general and colorectal surgeons, family physicians, and investigators with research focus in screening and quality metrics.

Download or read book Screening for Colorectal Cancer with Colonoscopy written by Rajunor Ettarh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colorectal cancer remains a major health issue for many developed regions around the world. The good news is that early detection has significantly improved overall survival rates and continues to do so. A number of prevention strategies contribute to this positive trend, and today a patient who undergoes a colonoscopy for screening purposes stands a much better chance of being effectively surveyed for prevention of colorectal cancer. Patients can rely increasingly on the improved datasets and technical advances that are being made in screening approaches and skills. With continued progress, particularly in the partnership between clinicians and computer scientists, the future for colorectal cancer surveillance looks increasingly positive for the development of improved tools and methods.
