POST-POLYPECTOMY SURVEILLANCE IN THE ENGLISH BOWEL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAMME: RESULTS OF SECOND SURVEILLANCE
Publication History
Publication Date:
18 March 2019 (online)
Aims:
The English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) offers individuals aged 60 to 74 years guaiac FOB testing, with an invitation for colonoscopy if positive. Post-polypectomy surveillance is performed within the BCSP for individuals within the screening age range.
Methods:
Details were extracted from the BSCP database for individuals who attended surveillance from the start of the BCSP in 2006 until January 2017. Data were analysed using Stata 14.
Results:
9742 individuals with high risk (HR) adenomas at baseline subsequently attended for 2nd surveillance (S2). In this group,
-
Of 3639 with no further adenoma at 1st surveillance (S1), 288 (7.9%) had advanced adenoma (AA) and 20 (0.5%) CRC at S2
-
Of 3347 with LR adenomas at S1, 342 (10.2%) had AA and 9 (0.3%) CRC at S2
-
Of 1533 with IR adenomas at S1, 217 (14.1%) had AA and 8 (0.5%) CRC at S2
-
Of 1223 with HR adenomas at S1, 181 (14.7%) had AA and 5 (0.4%) CRC at S2
7822 individuals with IR adenomas at baseline attended S2.
-
Of 4342 with no adenoma at S1, 203 (4.7%) had AA and 13 (0.3%) CRC at S2
-
Of 2324 with LR adenomas at S1, 149 (6.4%) had AA and 7 (0.3%) CRC at S2
-
Of 586 with IR adenomas at S1, 47 (8.0%) had AA and 1 (0.2%) CRC at S2
-
Of 570 with HR adenomas at S1, 62 (10.9%) had AA and 1 (0.2%) CRC at S2.
Conclusions:
AA at S2 occurs in 7.9% – 14.7% for HR at baseline and 4.7% – 10.9% for IR at baseline. For those with a maximum risk of IR at both baseline and S1, AA occurs in ≤8.0% at S2. These findings support the discontinuation of surveillance in lower risk groups.
