Screening & Case Finding
� Screening
� Testing apparently healthy volunteers from the general population
� The testing (screen; check-up) is initiated by those who do the tests
� There is an inherent promise that those who volunteer shall benefit
through early detection and treatment of disease
� Case-finding or ‘opportunistic screening’
� Testing of patients (who have sought health care) for disorders
unrelated to their chief complaints
� The encounter is initiated by the patient, who receives a more
comprehensive health assessment

Screening - definitions
� The presumptive identification of unrecognised disease by
application of tests, examinations or other procedures which can be
applied rapidly, to sort out apparently well persons who probably
have a disease from those who probably do not
� A screening test is not intended to be diagnostic. Persons with
positive or suspicious findings must be referred for diagnosis and
necessary treatment

When can screening be useful?
� When primary prevention – taking away the causes of the disease –
is not possible or limited in its effect
� When the criteria of Wilson and Jungner are met

� Don’t smoke
CRC: primary prevention
� Healthy life style:
� Eating healthy and balanced and exercise

The Criteria of Wilson & Jungner*
� The disease
� Must be a serious health problem
� There must be a pre-clinical phase which can be detected
� The natural history of the disease must be known
� The test must be
� Sensitive and specific
� Simple and cheap
� Safe and acceptable for the target group
� Reliable
� Diagnosis and treatment
� Adequate facilities for diagnosis and treatment must be in place
� An effective, acceptable and safe treatment must be present
� Cost-effectiveness

Wilson & Jungner: Pre-clinical phase: Slow progression from adenoma (polyp) to cancer
� Colorectal cancer often starts with polyps
Normal Polyp Colorectal cancer

The success of a screening programme
� The succes of a screening programme is for a great deal
determined by:
� The efficiency of the used screening test
� The willingness to participate in the target group

Wilson & Jungner: The test
![Page 14: ESMO E-Learning: Secondary Prevention of Colorectal Cancer ...oncologypro.esmo.org/content/download/38077/749585/file/secondary... · Secondary Prevention of Colorectal Cancer –](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030422/5aa94a9c7f8b9a9a188cae8e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CRC – ideal candidate for screening
� High incidence and mortality in the Western world
� Slow progression from adenoma to carcinoma (large ‘window of
opportunity’ (10-15 years) in which removing of the polyp or early
CRC is resulting into recovery)
� High patient survival in case of early detection and removing of the
polyps or the cancer by colonoscopy or surgery
� CRC-screening (FOBT) can reduce mortality by about 15%*

European Code against Cancer and EU council recommendation (December 2003)
"Men and women from 50 years of age should
participate in colorectal screening. This should be within
programmes with built-in quality assurance procedures"
"Faecal occult blood testing is actually the only
recommended screening strategy"

FOBT
� FOBT means Faecal Occult Blood Test
� Since adenomas and CRC are bleeding regularly, the blood, which
can not be seen with the naked eye, can be found in the stool when
analysed properly
� There is a guajac based FOBT (gFOBT - Hemoccult) and an
immunochemical FOBT (iFOBT)
� Until now, only for the gFOBT, there are Randomised Controlled
Trials (RCTs) indicating a cause-specific mortality reduction
� However, since the iFOBT is based on the same mechanism, it is
very plausible that it is also leading to a cause-specific mortality
reduction

Don’t wait too long to obtain the stool sample
How to use the iFOBT?*
Take a sample of your stool with the test kit
There is also a collection paper.
Put this in the lavatory bowl to collect your stool.
Be careful! Try to avoid contact with water as
much as possible
*Van Hal G et al. Eur J Cancer 2011;47(3):S156-S163
![Page 30: ESMO E-Learning: Secondary Prevention of Colorectal Cancer ...oncologypro.esmo.org/content/download/38077/749585/file/secondary... · Secondary Prevention of Colorectal Cancer –](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030422/5aa94a9c7f8b9a9a188cae8e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How to use the iFOBT?
Turn the cap and open the bottle.
Attached at the cap, there is a stick with small grooves.
Brush the grooves along the surface of your stool so that
a little bit of stool sticks to the grooves.
Put the stick back into the bottle.
Push until you hear a click.
Put the bottle in the green bag and close it.
The collection paper with the stool can be flushed;
it is biodegradable.

A stool taboo?
� The Flanders case
� The participation rate of the Flemish breast cancer screening
programme is 48% after 10 years. This is very low compared to
neighbouring countries
� The participation rate of the pilot trial for CRC screening was 64%
(test kit by surface mail)
� This participation rate is high and is rather unexpected, since a stool
taboo could not be ruled out in advance
![Page 33: ESMO E-Learning: Secondary Prevention of Colorectal Cancer ...oncologypro.esmo.org/content/download/38077/749585/file/secondary... · Secondary Prevention of Colorectal Cancer –](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030422/5aa94a9c7f8b9a9a188cae8e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Survey: A stool taboo?*
� Did you find it easy to obtain a stool sample? � Over 90%
answered ‘yes’
� Non-participants:
� Recent stool sample or colonoscopy (34.9%)
� Not eligible (9.1%)
� No complaints, feeling healthy (24.6%)
� No one in neighbourhood with cancer (8.7%)
� Prefer private examination (8.1%)

Survey: A stool taboo?
� Non-participants:
� Annoying to obtain a stool sample (4.6%)
� Obtaining a stool sample not practical (1.3%)
� Afraid of the result (2.5%)

Conclusion
� iFOBT is a user friendly stool sampling device
� An information leaflet (user guide) offers sufficient information to
obtain a proper sample of the stool when sending the test kit by
regular mail
� The argument of feeling healthy is still showing up as a reason for
non-participation � important role GP
� Only a very small minority gives as a reason for their non-
participation that taking a stool sample is annoying or unpractical
� The non-participation seems not to be due to a ‘stool taboo’
