This is a pooled analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials of one-time sigmoidoscopy screening in patients aged 55 to 64 years. The trials were conducted in Norway, the U.S., the U.K., and Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The percentage of patients who attended screening ranged from 58% to 84%. Incidence and mortality were reported on an intent-to-treat (intent-to-screen) basis. Among 274,952 persons, the overall incidence reduction in colorectal cancer (CRC) was 21%, which was accounted for almost entirely by a reduction in distal cancer. The decrease in CRC incidence in men and women in the screening group versus those in the usual-care group was 25% in men and 16% in women. The CRC mortality reduction was 20% overall, including 27% in men and a 9% reduction in women that did not reach significance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was also an all-cause mortality reduction of 2% that reached statistical significance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
