BackgroundWe present the 15-year experience of a family colorectal cancer screening service in Ireland with emphasis on real life experience and outcomes.MethodsQuestionnaires were used to assess family cancer history and assign patients to risk categories; 'Moderate Risk', HNPCC, (suspected) genetic syndrome (non-HNPCC), 'Low Risk'. Screening was by full colonoscopy. We report neoplastic yield, examining effect of risk category, age, gender, and index colonoscopy findings.ResultsBetween 1998 and 2013, 2242 individuals were referred; 57.3% female, 42.7% male, median age 46 years (range9-85yrs). Median follow up time was 7.9yrs (range 0.5-15.3yrs). Follow up data after exclusion (non-compliance, known CRC) was available in 1496 (66.7%): 'Moderate risk' 785 (52.5%), HNPCC 256 (17.1%), (suspected) genetic syndrome (non-HNPCC) 85 (5.7%), 'Low Risk' 370 (24.7%). Screening was performed in 1025(68.5%) patients; colonoscopy data available for 993 (96.9%); total 1914 colonoscopies. At index colonoscopy, 178 (18.0%) patients had adenomas; 56 (5.5%) advanced adenoma. During the entire study period, 240 (24.2%) had an adenoma; 69 (7.0%) advanced adenoma. Cancers were diagnosed on screening in 2 patients. Older age and male gender were associated with higher adenoma detection rate; p<0.001, p=0.01, respectively. Risk category did not affect adenoma yield. Adenoma and advanced adenoma detection at index colonoscopy were associated with detection of same at follow up screening; p<0.001.ConclusionMale gender and age (>50) were the core identifiable risk factors for neoplasia at screening colonoscopy in this family screening setting. Our results would support less intensive surveillance in younger patients (<50), particularly where index colonoscopy is normal.
