Impact of DietarY and LIfestyle Risk Factors on Colorectal Cancer Screening

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of our project is to construct a lifestyle score based on a short questionnaire easy to complete and to validate it among participants in mass screening for colorectal cancer in Maine and Loire department over the next 2 years (2012 and 2013). We will evaluate the ability of our score to identify subjects with colorectal cancer diagnosed by the screening procedure (Hemoccult II , and colonoscopy if the test result is positive). Colorectal cancer will be the primary outcome for the assessment of the score’s performance. The secondary endpoint will focus on colorectal adenomas diagnosed by the same procedure. Our secondary objectives are to test a second weighting system, evaluate the benefit in terms of predictive performance to add to the lifestyle score other dietary factors among that have a probable link with the risk of colorectal cancer, determine the acceptability of the questionnaire and to estimate by a cost-utility analysis the impact of applying a strategy of targeted screening using the developed score.

Project description:COLON, Colorectal Cancer: Longitudinal Observational study on Nutritional and lifestyle factors that influence colorectal tumor recurrence, survival and quality of life: The COLON study is a multi-center prospective cohort study to assess the role of diet and other lifestyle factors in cancer recurrence and survival among incident colorectal cancer patients in the Netherlands. DACHS, Darmkrebs: Chancen der Verhütung durch Screening:This German study was initiated as a large population-based case-control study in 2003 in the Rhine-Neckar-Odenwald region (southwest region of Germany) to assess the potential of endoscopic screening for reduction of colorectal cancer risk and to investigate etiologic determinants of disease, particularly lifestyle/environmental factors and genetic factors. During an in-person interview, data were collected on demographics, medical history, family history of CRC, and various life-style factors, as were blood and mouthwash samples. EPIC, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer: EPIC is an on-going multicenter prospective cohort study designed to investigate the associations between diet, lifestyle, genetic and environmental factors and various types of cancer. HPFS, Health Professionals Follow-up Study: HPFS is a parallel prospective study to the NHS. The HPFS cohort comprised 51,529 men aged 40-75 who, in 1986, responded to a mailed questionnaire. Participants provided information on health related exposures, including current and past smoking history, age, weight, height, diet, physical activity, aspirin use, and family history of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer and other outcomes were reported by participants or next-of-kin and were followed up through review of the medical and pathology record by physicians. Overall, more than 97% of self-reported colorectal cancers were confirmed by medical record review. Information was abstracted on histology and primary location. Follow-up evaluation has been excellent, with 94% of the men responding to date. NHS, Nurses' Health Study: The NHS cohort began in 1976 when 121,700 married female registered nurses age 30-55 years returned the initial questionnaire that ascertained a variety of important health-related exposures [<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=248266">PMID:248266</a>]. Since 1976, follow-up questionnaires have been mailed every 2 years. Colorectal cancer and other outcomes were reported by participants or next-of-kin and followed up through review of the medical and pathology record by physicians. Overall, more than 97% of self-reported colorectal cancers were confirmed by medical-record review. Information was abstracted on histology and primary location. The rate of follow-up evaluation has been high: as a proportion of the total possible follow-up time, follow-up evaluation has been more than 92%. NQplus, Nutrition Questionnaires plus: NQplus is a longitudinal observational study on diet and health in the general Dutch population.
