* "Cancer prevention tests should be offered fi rst. The preferred CRC prevention test is colonoscopy every 10 years, beginning at age 50. (Grade 1 B) Screening should begin at age 45 years in African Americans (Grade 2 C)"
* "Cancer detection test. This test should be offered to patients who decline colonoscopy or another cancer prevention test. The preferred cancer detection test is annual FIT for blood (Grade 1 B)"
''Notes'':
Grade 2C recommendation reflects "2C/Weak recommendation, low-quality or very low-quality evidence"

* High risk polyps are 1) 3 or more synchronous adenomas, 2) adenomas ≥1 cm in diameter, or 3) villus histology or high-grade dysplasia.
* High risk polyps should have follow-up colonoscopy in 3 years
* Low risk polyps should have repeat colonoscopy  in 5 to 10 years
* If no adenomas are found, follow-up evaluation should be at 10 years

====Fecal testing====
Feces can be tested for [[occult blood]] by either:
* Chemical reaction with [[guaiac]]
* [[Immumohistochemistry]] test for components of blood such as hemoglobin or haptoglobin. With this method, approximatelly 8% of patients will be positive after three years of yearly testing and 40% of those positive will be found to have eitehr advanced adenoma or cancer.<ref name="pmid24980879">{{cite journal| author=Kapidzic A, Grobbee EJ, Hol L, van Roon AH, van Vuuren AJ, Spijker W et al.| title=Attendance and yield over three rounds of population-based fecal immunochemical test screening. | journal=Am J Gastroenterol | year= 2014 | volume= 109 | issue= 8 | pages= 1257-64 | pmid=24980879 | doi=10.1038/ajg.2014.168 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=24980879  }} </ref> The method may be the most effective<ref name="10.1371/journal.pmed.1000370"/><ref name="pmid17310048">{{cite journal| author=Levi Z, Rozen P, Hazazi R, Vilkin A, Waked A, Maoz E et al.| title=A quantitative immunochemical fecal occult blood test for colorectal neoplasia. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 2007 | volume= 146 | issue= 4 | pages= 244-55 | pmid=17310048 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=17310048  }} </ref><ref name="pmid20360221">{{cite journal| author=Jellema P, van der Windt DA, Bruinvels DJ, Mallen CD, van Weyenberg SJ, Mulder CJ et al.| title=Value of symptoms and additional diagnostic tests for colorectal cancer in primary care: systematic review and meta-analysis. | journal=BMJ | year= 2010 | volume= 340 | issue=  | pages= c1269 | pmid=20360221 | doi=10.1136/bmj.c1269 | pmc=PMC2848719 | url= }} </ref> and also may be improved if patients are taking low dose [[aspirin]] to prevent [[vascular disease]].<ref name="pmid21139112">{{cite journal| author=Brenner H, Tao S, Haug U| title=Low-dose aspirin use and performance of immunochemical fecal occult blood tests. | journal=JAMA | year= 2010 | volume= 304 | issue= 22 | pages= 2513-20 | pmid=21139112 | doi=10.1001/jama.2010.1773 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21139112  }}  [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21502636 Review in: Ann Intern Med. 2011 Apr 19;154(8):JC4-10] </ref> In a [[randomized controlled trial]], immunochemical testing, as compared to colonoscopy, found a similar number of colorectal cancers but less adenomas.<ref name="pmid22356323">{{cite journal| author=Quintero E, Castells A, Bujanda L, Cubiella J, Salas D, Lanas Á et al.| title=Colonoscopy versus fecal immunochemical testing in colorectal-cancer screening. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 2012 | volume= 366 | issue= 8 | pages= 697-706 | pmid=22356323 | doi=10.1056/NEJMoa1108895 | pmc= | url= }} </ref> [[Immumohistochemistry]] testing may not have to be repeated annualy as needed by [[guaiac]]-based  testing.<ref name="pmid22387523">{{cite journal| author=van Roon AH, Goede SL, van Ballegooijen M, van Vuuren AJ, Looman CW, Biermann K et al.| title=Random comparison of repeated faecal immunochemical testing at different intervals for population-based colorectal cancer screening. | journal=Gut | year= 2013 | volume= 62 | issue= 3 | pages= 409-15 | pmid=22387523 | doi=10.1136/gutjnl-2011-301583 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22387523  }} </ref>

Colorectal cancer probably arises from colorectal polyps.[1] Adenomatous polyps convert to cancers at a rate of about 1% per year.[2]

Treatment

Colorectal cancer treatment information from the National Cancer Institute's Physician Data Query


Medications

Aspirin

Aspirin may reduce mortality among patients whose tumor overexpress the enzyme cyclooxygenase 2 according to a cohort study.[3] Cyclooxygenase 2 is expressed by most colorectal cancers and is associated with reduced survival.[4]

Cetuximab

Cetuximab, an IgG1 chimeric monoclonal antibody against epidermal growth factor receptor, may help according to a randomized controlled trial.[5]

Prognosis

5-Year Relative Survival Rates By Year Dx By Cancer Site All Ages, All Races, Both Sexes 1975-2000.

Staging information

Colorectal cancer staging information from the National Cancer Institute's Physician Data Query



Prognosis of colonic cancer[6]
Stage Five-year survival rate (%)
Stage I (T1-2N0) 93
Stage IIA (T3N0) 85
Stage IIB (T4N0) 72
Stage IIIA (T1-2 N1) 83
Stage IIIB (T3-4 N1) 64
Stage IIIC (N2) 44
Stage IV 8

Screening

For more information, see: colonic polyp.


In the United States of America, both underuse and overuse of screening occur.[7]

Allowing patients to choose their method of screening might be the most effective.[8]

Practice guidelines

While clinical practice guidelines are available to address screening, gastroenterologists may not follow the guidelines well.[9]

US Preventive Services Task Force

A clinical practice guideline by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has addressed colorectal cancer:[10]

  • "recommends screening for colorectal cancer using fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy in adults, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years."
  • "recommends against routine screening for colorectal cancer in adults 76 to 85 years of age. There may be considerations that support colorectal cancer screening in an individual patient."
  • "recommends against screening for colorectal cancer in adults older than age 85 years"
  • "the evidence is insufficient to assess the benefits and harms of computed tomographic colonography and fecal DNA testing (a subsequent study found that DNA was more sensitive but less specific[11])"

American College of Gastroenterology

Clinical practice guideline published in 2009 by the American College of Gastroenterology recommends:[12]

  • "Cancer prevention tests should be offered fi rst. The preferred CRC prevention test is colonoscopy every 10 years, beginning at age 50. (Grade 1 B) Screening should begin at age 45 years in African Americans (Grade 2 C)"
  • "Cancer detection test. This test should be offered to patients who decline colonoscopy or another cancer prevention test. The preferred cancer detection test is annual FIT for blood (Grade 1 B)"

Notes: Grade 2C recommendation reflects "2C/Weak recommendation, low-quality or very low-quality evidence"

The AGA has also issued guidance on surveillance after colonoscopy.[13]

American College of Physicians

The American College of Physicians has issued guidelines.Screening for Colorectal Cancer: A Guidance Statement From the American College of Physicians 2012

American Cancer Society

For screening, a clinical practice guideline jointly published in 2007 by the American Cancer Society and other groups recommends one of:[14]

  • Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years
  • Barium enema every 5 years
  • Virtual colonography (a noninvasive test based on computed tomography) every 5 years
  • Colonoscopy every 10 years

When polyps are found, a clinical practice guideline jointly published in 2006 by the American Cancer Society and other groups states:[15]

  • High risk polyps are 1) 3 or more synchronous adenomas, 2) adenomas ≥1 cm in diameter, or 3) villus histology or high-grade dysplasia.
  • High risk polyps should have follow-up colonoscopy in 3 years
  • Low risk polyps should have repeat colonoscopy in 5 to 10 years
  • If no adenomas are found, follow-up evaluation should be at 10 years

Evidence

A cost-benefit analysis[16] and a meta-analysis[17] have reviewed studies of fecal testing and colonic imaging. Immunochemical fecal occult blood (I-FOBT) tests may be the most effective.[16][18][19]

A validation of guidelines found:[20]

  • High risk adenomas - 9% of an advanced adenoma at 4 years of follow-up.
  • Low risk adenomas - 5% of an advanced adenoma at 4 years of follow-up.

Fecal testing

Feces can be tested for occult blood by either:

  • Chemical reaction with guaiac
  • Immumohistochemistry test for components of blood such as hemoglobin or haptoglobin. With this method, approximatelly 8% of patients will be positive after three years of yearly testing and 40% of those positive will be found to have eitehr advanced adenoma or cancer.[21] The method may be the most effective[16][18][19] and also may be improved if patients are taking low dose aspirin to prevent vascular disease.[22] In a randomized controlled trial, immunochemical testing, as compared to colonoscopy, found a similar number of colorectal cancers but less adenomas.[23] Immumohistochemistry testing may not have to be repeated annualy as needed by guaiac-based testing.[24]
  • DNA DNA testing more be more sensitive than fecal immunochemical testing.[25]

Visualization

Selected studies of the benefit of colorectal cancer screening[26][27] [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]

Visualization may be less effective in the right colon.[36][35]

Capsule endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy is less accurate than optical endoscopy.[37]

Computed tomographic colonography

Laxative-free "computed tomographic colonography was accurate in detecting adenomas 10 mm or larger but less so for smaller lesions." [38]

Prevention

Aspirin chemoprophylaxis

A clinical practice guideline by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended against taking aspirin (grade D recommendation).[39] The Task Force acknowledged that aspirin may reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, but "concluded that harms outweigh the benefits of aspirin and NSAID use for the prevention of colorectal cancer". Long-term doses over 81 mg per day may increase bleeding events.[40]

Subsequent meta-analyses conclude:

  • "300 mg or more of aspirin a day for about 5 years is effective in primary prevention of colorectal cancer in randomised controlled trials, with a latency of about 10 years".[41]
  • "Aspirin is effective for the prevention of colorectal adenomas in individuals with a history of these lesions."[42] The number needed to treat was about 33.

Aspirin and celecoxib may help individuals with an increased risk of CRC according to the NIHR Health Technology Assessment programme (UK).[43]

Calcium

A meta-analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration of randomized controlled trials published through 2002 concluded "Although the evidence from two RCTs suggests that calcium supplementation might contribute to a moderate degree to the prevention of colorectal adenomatous polyps, this does not constitute sufficient evidence to recommend the general use of calcium supplements to prevent colorectal cancer.".[44] Subsequently, one randomized controlled trial by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) reported negative results.[45] A second randomized controlled trial reported reduction in all cancers, but had insufficient colorectal cancers for analysis.[46]
