“…Existing studies of the psychological effects of CRC screening have shown few adverse effects of faecal occult blood testing, 103 FS 104 or colonoscopy 105 among the screened population as a whole. However, there has been little research looking at the psychological impact of entering a surveillance programme after screening.…”

HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance. HTA research is also an important source of evidence for National Screening Committee (NSC) policy decisions.For more information about the HTA programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hta This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HTA programme as project number 04/33/01.

“…Endoscopy is invasive and may be annoying, both physically and psychologically [18,19]. On the other hand, it should be noted that faecal occult test has been associated with high anxiety in patients found with positive tests, requiring one month to return to normal level [18]; also many patients may develop psychic impairements due to their feeling affected with CRC while waiting for further exams [19] because of the high rate of false positive tests. As a consequence, performing a pancolonoscopy would contribute to reduce the anxietyrelated distress in such patients.…”

Background: Colorectal Cancer (CRC) in the elderly is being diagnosed and treated more frequently, as a consequence of longer life expectancy. However, patients aged over 80 years are diagnosed late and surgical treatment is often difficult or aimed to palliate symptoms. Aim of the present study was to report on the characteristics of elderly patients referred to the endoscopy of our surgical Unit and outcomes of surgical treatment compared with younger patients.

“…Parker et al measured anxiety scores in 100 individuals with false-positive results. Although the scores were highest after notification of the test result, they fell the day after colonoscopy and remained low 1 month later [13].…”

“…Third, false-positive tests have the potential to generate anxiety, distress and depression symptoms, and changes in the overall perception of one's health status. As far as we know, only three studies have analyzed the psychological consequences of a false-positive result [11][12][13]. Parker et al measured anxiety scores in 100 individuals with false-positive results.…”

Psychiatric morbidity and screening for colorectal cancer

Abstract: The receipt of a screening test does not cause sustained anxiety and the existence of psychiatric morbidity is not a factor affecting a person's decision to accept or refuse a screening test for colorectal cancer.
