17
Q

what is the impact of surveillance colo after baseline removal of adenoma w/ high risk features (e.g. size >= 10 mm)?

A

may reduce risk for incident CRC, but impact on fatal CRC is uncertain (low qual ev)

18
Q

what is the impact of surveillance colo after baseline removal of adenoma w/ low risk features (e.g. 1-2 adenomas <10mm size)?

A

the effect of surveillance colo after baseline removal of adenoma with low risk features on the detection of incident and fatal CRC is uncertain (low qual ev)

19
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for: normal colo

A

10 yrs (strong rec; high qual ev)

pts w/ normal colo have lower than average risk of CRC

20
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for: pts w/ 1-2 TA’s <10mm size, completely resected

A

7-10 yrs (strong rec; mod qual ev)

previous rec was 5-10 yrs

if pt w/ this profile had the 5-10 yr rec given prior to this guideline, can keep that recommendation or adjust prn

21
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for: patients w/ 3-4 TA’s <10mm, completely removed

A

repeat colo in 3-5 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

22
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ 5-10 TA’s <10mm, completely removed

A

repeat colo at 3 yrs (strong rec; mod qual ev)

23
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ 1 or more adenomas >=10mm, completely removed

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (strong rec; high qual ev)

24
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ adenomas containing villous histology completely removed

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (strong rec; mod qual ev)

25
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ adenoma containing high-grade dysplasia completely removed

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (strong rec; mod qual ev)

26
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ >10 adenomas completely resected

A

repeat colo in 1 yr (weak rec; very low qual ev)

since the last update (2012), there was only one cohort study of 214 Korean pts w />10 adenomas where 26^ had metachronous advanced adenoma.

these pts may be at increased risk of hereditary polyposis syndrome, and multiple groups have suggested that pts w/ >10 cumulative lifetime adenomas get genetic testing.

27
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ <=20 hyperplastic polyps <10mm in size in the rectum or sigmoid, removed

A

repeat colo in 10 yrs (strong rec; mod qual ev)

28
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ <=20 hyperplastic polyps <10mm in size, located proximal to sigmoid colo, removed

A

repeat colo 10 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

29
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ 1-2 sessile serrated polyps <10mm, completely resected

A

repeat colo in 5-10 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

despite the lack of good evidence, since there’s uncertainty as to impact of large serrated polyp at repeat colo, and the difficulty of complete resection of SSP’s, task force recommends 5-10 yr follow-up colo

30
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ traditional serrated polyp completely removed

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

there isn’t much new evidence since the 2012 guideline

31
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

for pts w/ 3-4 SSP’s <10mm

A

repeat colo in 3-5 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

32
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

for pts w/ any combo of 5-10 SSPs <10mm

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

33
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ SSP >=10mm

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

34
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ hyperplastic polyp >=10mm

A

repeat colo in 3-5 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

favor 3 yr f/u if there’s concern about pathologist’s consistency in distinguishing SSPs from HPs, quality of bowel prep, or complete polyp excision

35
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ sessile serrated polyp containing dysplasia

A

repeat colo in 3 yrs (weak rec; very low qual ev)

36
Q

Recommended interval for surveillance colo for:

pts w/ piece resection of adenoma or sessile serrated polyp >20mm

A

repeat colo in 6 mo (strong rec; mod qual ev)

piecemeal resection of polyp (vs en bloc resection) increases risk of metachronous neoplasia

it’s suggested that this is because incomplete resection is more common in piecemal resection.

Endoscopists should consider strategies for verifing complete polyp excision at baseline.

37
Q

what is the recommended surveillance scope schedule for piecemeal resection of polyps >=20mm?

A

1st surveillance: 6 mo
2nd surveillance: 1 yr from 1st surveillance.
3rd surveillance: 3 yrs from 2nd surveillance

38
Q

what are some risk factors for metachronous neoplasia?

A

MAYBE the following, but the evidence is scant:

  • smoking
  • metabolic syndrome
  • obesity
  • sedentary lifestyle
  • maybe metformin use
  • ASA, NSAIDs may reduce risk of adenoma recurrence

though there is evidence that black pts have higher age-adjusted incidence and mortality from CRC, and develop CRC at younger age than other ethnic/racial groups, once screened, there is no robust evidence that black race modifies the risk for recurrent adenoma or advanced neoplasia

39
Q

what is hte USPSTF’s stance on low dose aspirin for CRC primary prevention?

A

for pts age 50-59y w/ >=10% risk of CVD and life expectancy >=10 yrs w/o increased risk of bleeding, ASA 81mg once daily is recommended for primary prevention of both CVD and CRC (grade B rec)

may also consider for pts 60-69y/o based on shared decision making (Grade C rec)

40
Q

summary of key updates since the 2012 recommendations

A
  • New evidence based on risk of colorectal cancer outcomes, rather than based only on risk of advanced adenoma during surveillance, is provided to strengthen polyp surveillance recommendations
  • 7- to 10-y rather than 5- to 10-y follow-up is recommended after removal of 1–2 tubular adenomas <10 mm in size (Table 4)
  • More detailed recommendations for follow-up after removal of serrated polyps have been provided (Table 5)
  • Importance of high-quality baseline examination has been emphasized
  • 1 y rather than <3-y follow-up is recommended after removal of >10 adenomas
  • Option to recommend 3–5 y instead of 3-y follow-up after removal of 3–4 adenomas <10 mm in size
