Episode 354: 253. Centralized Colorectal Cancer Screening Outreach in Federally Qualified Health Centers

Question Does adding centralized mailed fecal immunochemical testing and patient navigation to usual care improve colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in US federally qualified health centers?

pragmatic randomized clinical trial was conducted

Patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to usual care alone (control group) or intervention (2,001 participants per group). Intervention participants received mailed screening outreach materials including an introductory letter, FIT kit packet with instructions and return postage, and two reminder letters if necessary, in addition to usual care. Navigation to facilitate follow-up colonoscopy was offered to intervention participants with positive results of mailed FIT.

The researchers found that intervention participants were THREE TIMES more likely than controls to complete screening within six months of randomization (30.0 versus 9.7 percent).

Overall, positive FIT results in the intervention arm completed follow-up colonoscopy within six months more often than those in the control arm. This means more colonoscopies which SHOULD mean more cancer

Advanced colorectal neoplasia defined as advanced adenoma or CRC.

was detected in 1.4 and 0.7 percent of intervention and control participants, respectively.
