Article Synopsis
- The study examines the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) after the removal of low-risk and high-risk adenomas in patients who tested positive for fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) and underwent colonoscopy in Italy from 2002 to 2017.
- Researchers tracked 87,248 colonoscopy cases and found that those with high-risk adenomas had a significant increase in CRC incidence compared to those with negative colonoscopies, while those with low-risk adenomas did not show increased risk.
- The presence of specific risk factors such as the location and morphology of the adenomas, particularly in high-risk cases, contributed to the higher incidences of CRC observed in the follow-up period.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs based on fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) represent the standard of care for population-based interventions. Their benefit depends on the identification of neoplasia at colonoscopy after FIT positivity. Colonoscopy quality measured by adenoma detection rate (ADR) may affect screening program effectiveness.

To ensure efficient and effective case recording, population-based cancer registries widely adopt digital processing (DP) methods. At the Veneto Tumor Registry (RTV), about 50% of all digitally-identified (putative) cases of cancer are further profiled by means of registrars' assessments (RAs).

Design: retrospective cohort study.
Setting And Participants: all Italian and foreign women resident in the Veneto region (North-Eastern Italy) who were born between 1986 and 1992 and who had been invited for the first time through the screening programme between 2011 and 2017 were identified and included in the survey.
