Programas de cribado del cáncer colorrectal en la población de riesgo medio en la Unión Europea y España

TL;DR: Hay un amplio consenso internacional sobre la necesidad del cribado del cancer colorrectal en varones y mujeres con edad igual o superior a 50 anos, sin antecedentes personales ni familiares de adenomas ni CCR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rate of detection of advanced neoplasms in proximal colon by simulated sigmoidoscopy vs fecal immunochemical tests.

Antoni Castells, +139 more
TL;DR: Sigmoidoscopy and FIT have similar limitations in detecting advanced proximal neoplasms, which depend on patients' characteristics; sigmoidsoscopy underperforms for women 50-59 years old.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colorectal cancer after negative colonoscopy in fecal immunochemical test-positive participants from a colorectal cancer screening program.

TL;DR: The very low incidence of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) and characteristics of PCCRC observed in participants from the first round of a CRC screening program reinforce the concept that, although a positive FIT preselects high risk individuals, a high quality colonoscopy is the paramount factor in preventing P CCRC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fecal MicroRNA-Based Algorithm Increases Effectiveness of Fecal Immunochemical Test–Based Screening for Colorectal Cancer

TL;DR: An algorithm based on fecal levels of 2 miRNAs and hemoglobin, patient age and sex (miRFec) differentiated patients with CRC from those with non-advanced adenomas or normal colonoscopy with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value of 90% and avoided 34% of colonoscopies.
