Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 - (Page 60) Public Health OPEN ACCESS ENDOSCOPY Increasing Access for Colorectal Cancer Screening By Thomas J. McGarrity, M.D. & Eileen Gagliardi, R.N., CGRN ColoreCtal CanCer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer deaths for men and women in Pennsylvania and throughout the United States. The five-year survival for colorectal cancer is 90 percent for localized disease, 68 percent for regional disease, and only 10 percent if distant metastasis is present. Recently, a decrease in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality has been documented, attributed in part to the beneficial effects of screening. The decreased incidence in CRC is due to the removal of premalignant adenomatous polyps at colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is one of the more common elective procedures done in the United States with up to 14 million colonoscopies performed in 2003. Convenient, one-stop, open access colonoscopy removes an important barrier to CRC screening. The multi-GI societies in cooperation with the American Cancer Society and the American College of Radiology divided CRC screening tests into those tests that (1) primarily are effective at detecting cancer and (2) those that are effective at detecting cancer and precancerous polyps. This group strongly recommended that colorectal cancer prevention tests, which include colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy, should be the primary goal of colorectal cancer screening. The American College of Gastroenterology designated colonoscopy as the preferred strategy for CRC screening based on the colonoscopy’s effectiveness and acceptance by patients. ColoreCtal CanCer SCreening The screening recommendations for colorectal cancer were revised by multiple panels in 2008 and 2009. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations include: • screening all male and females, age 50-75 years, with • high sensitivity fecal occult blood tests annually, or • sigmoidoscopy every 5 years with interval fecal occult blood tests every 3 years, or • colonoscopy every 10 years. 60 | KeystonePhysician | Fall 2011 Table of Contents for the Digital Edition of Keystone Physician - Fall 2011Keystone Physician - Fall 2011ContentsWhere is Your Practice Going?Article: The Importance of Social LearningDr. Wanda Filer InterviewCapital CommentsCME Monograph: Best Practices for Continuous Quality ImprovementKP Talks with AAFP President, Glen Stream, MD About Social Media2011 AAFP Scientific Assembly/ Congress of Delegates Twitter CoveragePAFP President, Dr. Gingrich Speaks with the Future of FM2011 Congress of Delegates Meeting NotesPractice Management: Revalidation of Enrollment RequirementCompliance Update: FP’s Suit Against Government Over Payment RatesSocial Media and the FM RevolutionOnline CME CatalogKeystone Physician - Fall 2011Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 - (Page Intro)Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 - Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 (Page Cover1)Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 - Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 (Page 2)Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 - Contents (Page 3)Keystone Physician - Fall 2011 - Where is Your Practice Going?
