Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in England.
  • A national bowel cancer screening programme was implemented from 2006-2010.
  • Observational studies are crucial for assessing the programme's impact post-trials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effect of the current bowel cancer screening programme on the incidence of advanced primary colorectal cancer.
  • To investigate potential sex-specific differences in screening effectiveness.
  • To stratify analyses by anatomical subsite within the bowel.

Main Methods:

  • Case-control study design including all incident primary colorectal cancer cases in England.
  • Matching cases and controls by sex, age, area of registration, and screening invitation year.
  • Utilizing incidence ratios from randomized controlled trials to correct for self-selection bias and analyzing screening participation in other national programmes.

Main Results:

  • The study aims to obtain accurate estimates of the reduction in advanced stage colorectal cancer incidence.
  • Analysis will stratify results by sex and anatomical subsite.
  • The influence of sex on screening effectiveness will be investigated.

Conclusions:

  • The case-control design, with robust specifications and analytical strategies, is expected to yield accurate estimates of advanced disease incidence reduction.
  • Results may indicate a need for sex-specific recommendations within the bowel cancer screening programme.
  • Further analysis by anatomical subsite could refine screening strategies.
