Brief Summary

Colorectal cancer screening by faecal occult blood test (FOBT) is a high public health priority. The interest of guaiac tests (G-FOBT) is limited by their poor sensitivity, while the superiority of I-FOBT in comparison with G-FOBT is now established. Nevertheless automated quantitative I-FOBTs have not been compared, and the optimal number of samples and threshold is not yet fixed. The aim of this study is to compare the performances of the 2 more well-known I-FOBTs with automated analyzers (magstream by Fujirebio, and OC Sensor by Eiken) for different positivity thresholds and numbers of samples in general average risk population. Patients will performed a two samples Magstream, a two samples OC Sensor and Hemoccult II. In case of a positive test, a colonoscopy will be performed. Sensitivity and specificity for detection of cancer and advanced neoplasias will be compared between tests using ratio of sensitivities (RSN) and ratio of false positives (RFP) according to number of samples and positivity threshold.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ratio of sensitivities (RSN) for detection of advanced neoplasias

    Advanced neoplasias included invasive cancers and high-risk adenomas (larger than 1 cm or with high grade dysplasia). RSN is the ratio of the true positives of two tests. True positives for one test are patients positive for the test, with targeted lesion (here advanced neoplasias). RSN will be calculed between immunochemical tests, and for each immunochemical test in reference to gaiac test.

    Up to 6 months after faecal occult blood test (FOBT) (At the time of colonoscopy)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Ratio of False Positives (RFP) for detection of invasive cancers

    Up to 6 months after FOBT (At the time of colonoscopy)

  • RFP for detection of advanced neoplasias

    Up to 6 months after FOBT (At the time of colonoscopy)

  • Relative Receiver Operating Characteristics(ROC) curves

    Up to 6 months after FOBT (At the time of colonoscopy)

  • Detection rate of invasive cancer

    Up to 6 months after FOBT (At the time of colonoscopy)

  • Detection rate of advanced neoplasias

    Up to 6 months after FOBT (At the time of colonoscopy)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Magstream + Oc Sensor + Hemoccult II

OTHER

Each patient will perform all three tests: * Magstream: 2 samples (each on a different stool) * OC Sensor: 2 samples (each on a different stool) * Hemoccult II: 6 samples (2 samples per stool, on 3 different stools) Each test will be considered as positive if at least one sample is positive (cutoff for Magstream 55 ng/ml and for OC Sensor 150 ng/ml). Screening will be considered as positive if at least one of the three tests is positive, leading to a colonoscopy

Other: Colonoscopy

Interventions

Colonoscopy if at least one of the faecal occult blood tests is positive (blinded to each test result)

Magstream + Oc Sensor + Hemoccult II
