Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test

318
Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Immunofluorescence Microscopy

9.9K
A fluorescence microscope uses fluorescent chromophores called fluorochromes, which can absorb energy from a light source and then emit this energy as visible light. Fluorochromes include naturally fluorescent substances (such as chlorophylls) and fluorescent stains that are added to the specimen to create contrast. Dyes such as Texas red and FITC are examples of fluorochromes. Other examples include the nucleic acid dyes 4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and acridine orange.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising globally, particularly in younger demographics.
    • There is a growing need for accessible CRC screening in primary care settings.
    • Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) offers a non-invasive method for CRC detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To pilot a faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) service within primary care for asymptomatic individuals.
    • To assess the feasibility and outcomes of implementing a FIT service in a general practice setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Asymptomatic patients aged 40-75 years were offered FIT kits during routine consultations.
    • A positive FIT result was defined as >10μg Hb/g faeces.
    • The number of FIT kits distributed, samples analyzed, and outcomes were reviewed.

    Main Results:

    • 173 patients were recruited, with 142 (82%) FIT samples analyzed.
    • A positive FIT result (>10μg Hb/g faeces) was observed in 8 (5%) patients.
    • Of those with positive results, 6 underwent colonoscopy, revealing polyps in 4 (50%) and necessitating follow-up in 2.

    Conclusions:

    • This study marks the first successful implementation of a FIT service in Irish primary care.
    • The findings support a significant unmet need and a strong rationale for utilizing FIT testing in general practice for colorectal cancer screening.
