Messaggio telefonico reale (f.b., femmina, 44 anni, milano) asintomatica; sottoposta a colonscopia per screening familiare/personale
  •    Mi hanno trovato un polipo al colon. Ora aspetto la biopsia e poi mi fanno un intervento in day hospital per toglierlo. In  piu’ – e questa è la parte orribile – controlli ogni anno.
  •    Ps. esame dolorosissimo (mi hanno dato solo un po’ di Valium)

Esistono delle peculiarità nella colonscopia di screening ?
  • Particolare attenzione a:


  • Consenso informato
  • Storia personale e familiare
  • Trattamento anticoagulante e anti-aggregante (alta probabilità di operatività)
  • Condizioni a rischio di batteriemia
  • Gestione pacemaker e defibrillatori
  • Preparazione (aspetti organizzativi)
  • Ottimizzazione della resa diagnostica
  • Know-how nelle polipectomie
  • Gestione insuccessi diagnostici e terapeutici
  • Refertazione e documentazione fotografica
  • Informazioni successive all’esame (follow-up. consulti multidisciplinari)

La colonscopia non è infallibile !
  • L’utente del programma di screening si aspetta un’esistenza libera dal CCR, ma…
  • …1/110 sviluppa CCR entro 3 anni dalla colonscopia…..

"Colorectal cancer developing after colonoscopy..."
  • Colorectal cancer developing after colonoscopy is more frequently right-sided than its incidence in the general population.
  • In a population-based study of right-sided cancer, at least 6% of patients had colonoscopy 6 to 36 months before diagnosis, suggesting that the endoscopist missed the cancer.


8


Why would colonoscopy be less effective in preventing death from right-sided CRC?


  • 1) Some "complete" colonoscopies do not evaluate the entire right colon.
  • 2) Bowel preparation may be worse in the right colon.
  • 3) Right and left colonic neoplasia may differ biologically.

POLYP MISS RATE DETERMINED BY TANDEM COLONOSCOPY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
  • 1.2-5.0 media polipi/paziente
  • 98% CS completa

11
Adenoma detection rate
  • Percentage of patients undergoing colonoscopy in whom a histologically proven adenoma is found
  • In asymptomatic patients > 50 years of age
12
Adenoma detection rate
Required values
  • Diagnosis of adenomas in subjects> 50 years of age:


  • > 25% in males
  • > 15% in females
  • 20-40% in subjects with family history

14
Withdrawal times and adenoma detection rates (Illinois, USA)

  • 11.8 vs 28.3% of detection rate o any neoplasia (also advanced adenomas)
  • Large differences among gastroenterologists (9.4-32.7%)
  • Seemingly linear relationship
15
What could be done to improve adenoma detection
  • Timer during withdrawal (stopwatch, es. Indiana University Hospital)
  • Emphasis on withdrawal in teaching
  • New technologies (chromoendoscopy, NBI? High definition)
16
New Technologies
  • Developments for improved detection of flat lesions


  • Chromoendoscopy
  • NBI
  • High definition
  • Autofluorescence
  • Developments for exposing more mucosa


  • Cap fitted colonoscopy
  • Third eye retroscope
  • Wide angle-colonoscopy
  • Colonoscopy in retroflexion





17
Quality factors
  • Generally independent on « technology »


  • Colonoscopy withdrawal time: 6-10 minutes
  • Percentage of resected colonic polyps recovered for pathologic examination>95%
  • Possibly dependent on « technology »


  • Caecal intubation rate: >95%
  • Adenoma detection rate in males over 50 years of age: > 25%
  • Adenoma detection rate in females over 50 years of age: > 15%
  • Always try to remove endoscopically polyps of any kind if < 2 cm in size


18
Other tricks for quality in screening colonoscopy

  • Split preparation (improved vision in the right colon)
  • Light sedation
  • Warm water
  • Antispasmodics
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Position changes
  • Judicious retroflexion
19
Colonscopia di screening Trento
  • YES
  • NO

Quality in (screening) colonoscopy
  • In the past


  • Reach the caecum most often and fastest
  • Remove difficult polyps
  • Sedation



  • Nowadays


  • Reach the anus as slow as possible
  • Adenoma detection
  • Patient satisfaction
