Strategies for Detecting Colorectal Cancer in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cochrane Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVES: Patients with longstanding ulcerative colitis (UC) and colonic Crohn's disease (CD) have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). We assess the effectiveness of endoscopic surveillance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for diagnosing CRC and reducing CRC-related mortality. METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched from inception to 19 September 2016. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational cohorts, or case-control studies assessing any form of endoscopic surveillance for early CRC detection were eligible for inclusion; studies without a comparison non-surveillance group were excluded. The primary outcome was rate of CRC detection. Secondary outcomes were rate of early (Duke stage A and B) versus late (Duke stage C & D) CRC detection and rate of CRC-related death. Data were pooled using fixed or random effects models based on the degree of heterogeneity; pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method. RESULTS: Five observational studies evaluating 7199 IBD patients were included; no RCTs met criteria for inclusion. There are limited new studies evaluating this clinical question (last included study published 2014). There was a significantly higher rate of cancer detection in the non-surveillance group (3.2%, 135/4256) compared to the surveillance group (1.8%, 53/2895) (OR 0.58 (95% CI: 0.42-0.80), p < 0.001). In four pooled studies, there was a significantly lower rate of CRC-associated death in the surveillance group (8.5%, 15/176) compared to the non-surveillance group (22.3%, 79/354) (OR 0.36 (95% CI: 0.19-0.69), p = 0.002). In two pooled studies, there was a significantly higher rate of early-stage CRC detection in the surveillance group (15.5%, 17/110) compared to the non-surveillance group (7.7%, 9/117) (OR 5.40 (95% CI: 1.51-19.30), p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Colonoscopic surveillance in IBD is associated with a reduction in CRC development and CRC-associated death, as well as increased detection of early-stage CRC.

In a meta-analysis, in the group of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease observed using colonoscopy, colorectal cancer occurred in 1.8% of patients, and in the group without colonoscopy in 3.2% of cases (P < 0.001).
“The meta-analysis showed that in the group of individuals with IBD observed using colonoscopy, CRC occurred in 1.8% of patients, and in the group without colonoscopy in 3.2% of cases (P < 0.001)[45].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
