Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Prevalence of advanced colorectal neoplasia or cancer identified by each screening strategy (OC, CC and FIT)

    The main objective of the study is to compare two alternative methods (CC anf FIT) to OC in term of non-inferiority for the detection of advanced colorectal neoplasia (adenoma \> 1 cm, adenoma with high grade dysplasia) or cancer. The method of the unilateral confidence interval of the difference will be used to test the non-inferiority. The strategies will be considered to be equivalent if the 95% confidence interval of the difference or the detection of advanced neoplasia won't exceed ±3%.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of colorectal cancer identified by each screening strategy

    3 years

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Complication rate

    3 years

  • Comparison of the strategies cost

  • Quality assessment of colonoscopy and capsule endoscopy

Study Population

Patients at high risk of colorectal cancer (first-degree relatives of patient with colorectal cancer) will be included prospectively in one of the 3 comparative arms.

You may qualify if:

  • History of colorectal cancers (any age) in first-degree relatives (parents, children, siblings including half-brothers and sisters)
  • Age \> or = 45 years
  • No previous colorectal cancer screening
  • Informed patient
  • Patient having signed the consent form
  • Patient affiliated to a social security system or recipient of such system

You may not qualify if:

  • Any previous colorectal cancer screening:
  • History of blood tests in the stool (hemoccult, fecal immunological test, ...)
  • History of colonic capsule screening
  • History of colonoscopy
  • Any known advanced neoplasia or colorectal cancer
  • Known genetic predisposition to colorectal cancer (very high risk group)
  • Adults protected by law (under guardianship or trusteeship)
  • Other metastatic cancers
  • Life-threatening diseases
