Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a significant cause of mortality.
  • No specific etiologic agent for CRC has been identified, necessitating screening-based prevention strategies.
  • Current CRC screening methods aim for cost-efficiency and minimizing risks from false-positive results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel two-part screening questionnaire for colorectal cancer.
  • To assess the questionnaire's efficacy in identifying individuals at moderate risk for CRC.
  • To support targeted and efficient colorectal cancer screening initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a two-part questionnaire designed for colorectal cancer risk assessment.
  • Implementation of the questionnaire within a target population.
  • Analysis of questionnaire responses to categorize individuals by risk level.

Main Results:

  • The two-part screening questionnaire successfully identified a cohort of patients at moderate risk for colorectal cancer.
  • The tool offers a practical method for initial risk stratification in population-based screening.

Conclusions:

  • A two-part screening questionnaire is an effective tool for identifying individuals at moderate risk of colorectal cancer.
  • This method can enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening programs.
  • Further research may explore the integration of this questionnaire into broader public health strategies for cancer prevention.
