Title

FEASIBILITY OF COLON CANCER SCREENING BY FECAL IMMUNOCHEMICAL TEST IN IRAN

Pages

  726-733

Abstract

 Background: COLORECTAL CANCER (CRC) is the third most common cancer in Iran, where there is no mass screening for the disease yet. We aimed to measure the feasibility of a pilot CRC screening program based on fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in Iranian population and the implications for scaling-up at the national level. Methods: A single quantitative FIT was offered by health navigators to individuals aged between 45 and 75 years in primary health centers in rural and urban areas in Tehran. Participants who had a positive FIT were referred for colonoscopy. Results: A total of 1044 asymptomatic average-risk individuals were enrolled. The mean age (SD) was 54. 1 ± 7. 0 years and nearly 63. 0% (n = 657) were female. Only a small fraction of the participants had a prior screening practice (2. 2%) and were aware of colon cancer (13. 7%). In sum, 1002 returned the FIT kit, of whom the stool sample was unsatisfactory for testing in six participants (0. 6%). The FIT uptake was 96. 0%, positivity rate was 9. 1% and the detection rates were 11. 9% for adenomas and 7. 1% for advanced adenomas. No cancer was detected. The positive predictive value (PPV) of the FIT was about 17% for any colonic neoplasms. Conclusion: This is the first study that reports minimal quality metrics within a CRC screening process. FIT modality as a test of choice for colon cancer screening in average-risk people is a safe and highly acceptable method of screening in Iranian people. The results of the current study may not be limited to Iranians, and could have implications to other developing countries with similar trends of CRC epidemic.
