Overview

Aim and Method:

A coordination centre for colorectal cancer screening in Slovakia collects 7-year quantitative and qualitative data from electronic communications and online statistically-processed colonoscopy forms at certified workplaces.

Results:

Over the course of the last 6 years, 37,912 preventive colonoscopies were evaluated. The polyps were taken out in 13,977 individuals. The number of people with polyps analysed by histology was 13,235. At least one adenoma was observed in 11,159 individuals. An adenoma with severe dysplasia was observed in 1,783 individuals. Polyps with histological criteria of adenocarcinoma were removed from 1,109 subjects. The occurrence of adenomas has increased from 28 to 31% and the occurrence of colorectal cancer has decreased from 3.47 to 2.45%.

Conclusion:

The results provide information on the average risk of individuals over 50 years old of developing colorectal carcinoma.

Key words:

screening – colonoscopy – polyps – adenoma – colorectal carcinoma
