Background: After the announcement in March 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic, colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs were suspended in several countries. Compared to the lesions detected during previous campaigns, this study aims to assess the severity of CRC detected during the 2020 screening campaign in ÃŽle-de-France, the French region most affected by the 1 wave of the pandemic.
Methods: The descriptive and etiological study included all faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results carried out between January 2017 and December 2020 on people aged 50-74, living in ÃŽle-de-France.
Background: Since its complete roll-out in 2009, the French colorectal cancer screening program (CRCSP) experienced 3 major constraints [use of a less efficient Guaiac-test (gFOBT), stopping the supply of Fecal-Immunochemical-Test kits (FIT), and suspension of the program due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] affecting its effectiveness.
Aim: To describe the impact of the constraints in terms of changes in the quality of screening-colonoscopy (Quali-Colo).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included screening-colonoscopies performed by gastroenterologists between Jan-2010 and Dec-2020 in people aged 50-74 living in Ile-de-France (France).
We aimed to examine social inequalities in participation in cervical cancer screening (CCS) in a metropolitan area by implementing a pilot organised screening programme. The pilot programme consisted of sending invitations to women who did not perform a pap smear within the past 3Â years, managing interventions to reach vulnerable women, training healthcare professionals, and organising follow-ups of abnormal pap smears. We studied participation in CCS between January 2014 and December 2016 among 241,257 women aged 25-63Â years old.
