Clinical application and effectiveness analysis of modified Asia-Pacific colorectal cancer screening score combined with fecal occult blood test for colorectal cancer screening in asymptomatic population.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To evaluate the value of the modified Asia-Pacific colorectal cancer screening (APCS) scoring system combined with fecal occult blood test (FOBT) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in asymptomatic population of Wannan region.

Methods

We prospectively collected and investigated asymptomatic individuals attending Yijishan Hospital (the first affiliated hospital of Wannan Medical College) from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. All enrolled patients received modified APCS scores and FOBT before colonoscopy. We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to estimate the screening value of the modified APCS score combined with FOBT. We also retrospectively collected patients with stage T1 CRC to explore the independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LN
