Brief Title: Colorectal Cancer Screening French Organizations for the Follow-up After Colonoscopy
Official Title: Extending the Prerogatives of Colorectal Cancer Screening French Organizations to the Follow-up After Colonoscopy of Patients Aged 50 or More: Pilot Study in the Rhône Administrative Department
Study ID: NCT03383367
Brief Summary: France is one of the European countries where the incidence of colorectal cancer is the highest among cancers for both sexes. Fecal occult blood screening has been implemented since 2008. However, this screening excludes high risk people who have a 10 to 30 % risk of developing a CRC during their lifetime. Colonoscopy follow up of these persons is not organized, and it is up to the attending physician to recall the date of the surveillance colonoscopy. This results in a poor compliance with the recommendations by these people. A postal reminder of the surveillance colonoscopies sent by The French screening organizations to the patients should increase adherence to follow-up recommendations. The colorectal cancer screening organizations will collects from the hepatogastroenterologists (HGE) informations on colonoscopies of people more than 50 years old who live in the Rhone. These informations will allow to send a reminder 3 months before the date recommended by the HGE. Participation rate and timeliness will be assessed, as well as the severity of the lesions found. A medico-economic analysis will also be carried out.
