Abstract Background and study aims National societies recommend colorectal cancer (CRC) screening 10 years after a normal (“negative”) colonoscopy in low-risk individuals. We studied the impact of a 10-year repeat colonoscopy on the risk of early incident CRC. Patients and methods We used health administrative data from Ontario, Canada, to conduct a population-based retrospective cohort study in 50 – 74-year-old individuals at low-to-moderate risk of CRC who had a negative colonoscopy between 1996 and 2001. We approximated exposure to repeat colonoscopy using an 8 – 12-year window. We excluded individuals who underwent lower endoscopy or colectomy, developed CRC, or were lost to follow-up between the baseline and repeat colonoscopies. We matched exposed individuals 1:1 to individuals who did not undergo lower endoscopy within 12 years for age, sex, and calendar year of baseline colonoscopy, and followed matched pairs for incident CRC. The primary analysis was multivariable hazards regression, adjusting for competing risks. Results A total of 13 350 matched pairs were observed for a median of 4.5 years (interquartile range 3.2 – 5.9 years). The cumulative probability of CRC following the matching date was 0.70 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.42 % – 1.11 %) in individuals who underwent repeat colonoscopy and 0.77 % (95 %CI 0.48 % – 1.2 %) in individuals who did not undergo repeat colonoscopy. The adjusted hazard ratio for CRC was 0.91 (95 %CI 0.68 – 1.22). Conclusions We did not find an association between a second colonoscopy performed 10 years after a negative colonoscopy and early incident CRC. Our findings support the need for further studies on the utility of 10-year re-screening with colonoscopy in this setting.

ObjectivesIt is unknown whether preoperative use of ACE inhibitors (ACE-I) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) affects the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. We assessed the impact of preoperative ACE-I/ARB use on risk of AKI after CRC surgery.DesignObservational cohort study. Patients were divided into three exposure groups—current, former and non-users—through reimbursed prescriptions within 365 days before the surgery. AKI within 7 days after surgery was defined according to the current Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome consensus criteria.SettingPopulation-based Danish medical databases.ParticipantsA total of 9932 patients undergoing incident CRC surgery during 2005–2014 in northern Denmark were included through the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group Database.Outcome measureWe computed cumulative incidence proportions (risk) of AKI with 95% CIs for current, former and non-users of ACE-I/ARB, including death as a competing risk. We compared current and former users with non-users by computing adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) using log-binomial regression adjusted for demographics, comorbidities and CRC-related characteristics. We stratified the analyses of ACE-I/ARB users to address any difference in impact within relevant subgroups.ResultsTwenty-one per cent were ACE-I/ARB current users, 6.4% former users and 72.3% non-users. The 7-day postoperative AKI risk for current, former and non-users was 26.4% (95% CI 24.6% to 28.3%), 25.2% (21.9% to 28.6%) and 17.8% (17.0% to 18.7%), respectively. The aRRs of AKI were 1.20 (1.09 to 1.32) and 1.16 (1.01 to 1.34) for current and former users, compared with non-users. The relative risk of AKI in current compared with non-users was consistent in all subgroups, except for higher aRR in patients with a history of hypertension.ConclusionsBeing a current or former user of ACE-I/ARBs is associated with an increased risk of postoperative AKI compared with non-users. Although it may not be a drug effect, users of ACE-I/ARBs should be considered a risk group for postoperative AKI.

PurposeTo identify the initiation or discontinuation of complementary therapy (CT) and determine the impact of sociodemographic and clinical factors on CT use among cancer patients.Patients and MethodsEligible patients were age 20 or older; newly diagnosed with stomach, liver, or colorectal cancer; and started their initial treatment at the National Cancer Center, Korea, between April 1, 2001, and April 30, 2003. In total, 541 cancer patients were surveyed in face-to-face interviews at baseline, and telephone follow-up interviews were performed every 3 months for 3 years.ResultsA total of 281 patients commenced CT after diagnosis; 164 patients stopped using CT during the follow-up period. The overall cumulative probability of starting CT at 1, 2, and 3 years was 50%, 54%, and 55%, respectively. In a Cox multivariate analysis, stomach and liver cancer were associated with an increased probability of initiating CT compared with colorectal cancer. Patients who were classified as stage I, II, or III at diagnosis were associated with a decreased probability of discontinuing CT compared with stage IV.ConclusionMost cancer patients started to use CT during the initial treatment period. Thus, physicians should communicate with cancer patients about CT at this phase. In particular, more attention should be paid to women and individuals with higher household incomes because these groups are more likely to start CT.

3599 Background: Population-based FOBt colorectal cancer screening has been shown to reduce cancer specific mortality and is used across the UK. Despite evidence that socioeconomic deprivation is associated with increased incidence of colorectal cancer, uptake of screening may be lower in those who are more deprived. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of deprivation on the screening process. Methods: A prospectively maintained database, encompassing the first screening round in a single geographical area, was analysed with deprivation categories calculated from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 2009. Results: Overall, 395,698 individuals were invited to screening, 204,812(52%) participated and 6,094(3%) tested positive. 32% of screened individuals were in the most deprived quintile. Of the positive tests, 5,457(95%) agreed to be pre-assessed for colonoscopy. 839(16%) did not proceed to colonoscopy following pre-assessment. Of the 4,618 that attended for colonoscopy, cancer was detected in 7%. Colonoscopy results were not recorded in 1,035(22%) cases. Lower uptake of screening was seen in males, those that were younger and those who were more deprived (p<0.001). Higher levels of deprivation were also associated with not proceeding to colonoscopy following pre-assessment (p<0.001). Higher positivity rates were seen in males, those that were older and more deprived (p<0.001). Despite higher positivity rates in the more deprived individuals (4% most deprived vs 2% least deprived, p<0.001), the positive predictive value of detecting cancer in those attending for colonoscopy was lower in those who were more deprived (6% most deprived vs 8% least deprived, p=0.040). Conclusions: Socioeconomic deprivation has a significant effect throughout the FOBt screening process. Individuals who are more deprived are less likely to participate in screening, less likely to complete the screening process and less likely to have cancer identified as a result of a positive test. This study adds further weight to existing evidence that individuals who are more deprived are less likely to engage in population-based FOBt colorectal cancer screening. Novel strategies to improve this are required.

505 Background: Many colorectal cancer (CRC) patients suffer personal financial hardship from the disease and its treatment. We hypothesized that chemotherapy use is associated with even greater financial burden and worry. Methods: We analyzed data from a population-based survey of patients with stage III CRC in the Georgia and Detroit SEER catchment areas focusing on the effects of CRC and its treatment on personal finances. The primary outcomes were financial burden, assessed with a seven-component composite measure, and financial worry, assessed with a 5 point Likert scale. The primary independent variable was chemotherapy use. We evaluated relationships between chemotherapy use and individual components of financial burden, as well as composite financial burden and worry, using chi square analyses. Logistic regression was used to examine the effect of chemotherapy use on financial burden and worry, after controlling for patient characteristics. Results: Financial burden scores and financial worry were significantly higher among chemotherapy users (P<0.001). Financial burden and worry were associated with younger age, lack of insurance, and lower education. After controlling for these factors, chemotherapy use remained significantly associated with both financial burden and financial worry. 717/844 respondents (85%) reported chemotherapy use. Chemotherapy users were more likely to use savings (34% vs 20%, P=0.001), borrow money/take out loans (14% vs 4%, P=0.001), fail to make credit card payments (14% vs 5%, P=0.003), reduce spending for food and/or clothing (31% vs 14%, P<0.0001), decrease recreational activities (38% vs 15%, P<0.0001), and reduce general expenses (51% vs 24%, P<0.0001) than those who did not use chemotherapy. Conclusions: Adjuvant chemotherapy confers significant survival benefit in stage III colorectal cancer (CRC), but is associated with significantly increased personal financial burden and worry. Because financial stress has the potential to preclude adherence to recommended care, CRC patients who receive chemotherapy may require additional social services and economic support.

Purpose Knowledge of the contribution of high-penetrance susceptibility to familial colorectal cancer (CRC) is relevant to the counseling, treatment, and surveillance of CRC patients and families. Patients and Methods To quantify the impact of germline mutation to familial CRC, we sequenced the mismatch repair genes (MMR) APC, MUTYH, and SMAD4/BMPR1A in 626 early-onset familial CRC cases ascertained through a population-based United Kingdom national registry. In addition, we evaluated the contribution of mutations in the exonuclease domain (exodom) of POLE and POLD1 genes that have recently been reported to confer CRC risk. Results Overall mutations (pathogenic, likely pathogenic) in MMR genes make the highest contribution to familial CRC (10.9%). Mutations in the other established CRC genes account for 3.3% of cases. POLE/POLD1 exodom mutations were identified in three patients with family histories consistent with dominant transmission of CRC. Collectively, mutations in the known genes account for 14.2% of familial CRC (89 of 626 cases; 95% CI = 11.5, 17.2). Conclusion A genetic diagnosis is feasible in a high proportion of familial CRC. Mainstreaming such analysis in clinical practice should enable the medical management of patients and their families to be optimized. Findings suggest CRC screening of POLE and POLD1 mutation carriers should be comparable to that afforded to those at risk of HNPCC. Although the risk of CRC associated with unexplained familial CRC is in general moderate, in some families the risk is substantive and likely to be the consequence of unidentified genes, as exemplified by POLE and POLD1. Our findings have utility in the design of genetic analyses to identify such novel CRC risk genes.
