And the problem is increasing….
•Ageing of the population
•Lifestyle Factors
< 45- very low risk
45 –55- 25/100,000
> 75- 300/100,000More meat ,less vegetable

Other risk factors………
•Familial Adenomatous Polyposis(FAP)
•Hereditary Non polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)
•Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Clinical PresentationEarly
Late
Usually progresses slowlyfrom polyps over 10 yrs
20% arrive through A/E
•PR Bleeding
•Persistent change in bowel habits
•Anaemia
•Weight loss
•Abdo pain
•Abdo mass
Diagnostic Methods
Rigid sigmoidoscopy
Flexible sigmoidoscopy(can pick up 60% of tumours)
ColonoscopyDouble contrast barium enema
Newer Diagnostic Method
Some evidence better thanBarium enema
Almost as accurate as Colonoscopy for largerPolyps(>10mm) only
Potential complications (including perforation)similar to other procedures
Alternative to Barium enemaUseful in frail & elderly as initial screening
Diagnostic Issues: Who to be tested?
To pick up cancer /polyp at early stage.What is the Benefit : Risk Ratio?
1. Symptomatic patients
2. High Risk group (Surveillance)
3. General Population Screening
1. Symptomatic Patients (Urgent Referral Criteria)**

*Maximum threshold. Local Network may elect lower values#IDA= Iron Deficiency Anaemia ** Department of health
1.Rectal bleeding/ :- Flexi sigi Change in bowel habit (chance of missing (ie left sided symptoms) cancer is 0.2%)
2.Right abdo pain :- Colonoscopy IDA if unsuccessful or frail/elderly Barium enema/ CT Colonography
3.Palpable abdo mass :- CT scan or CT Colonography

3. Population Screening:
NHS Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme
Due to start from April 2006
FOBTs- in men & women > 60 years if positive Colonoscopy
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy as a pilot study in men > 50
35 million £8 training centers650 new endoscopists
FOBT (Faecal Occult Blood Test)Reduces Mortality ( 3 American & 2 European RCTs)
Pre test dietary restriction for 3 days (Avoid red meat, horseradish, Vitamin C)High fibre diet advised
Six guiac strips to be smeared two each 3 consecutive stool
Any amount of blue in any one strip is positive( Guainoic acid Guanicum blue
