CTC with a 6 mm threshold for polypectomy is associated to a substantial cost reduction without significant loss of efficacy. Cost-effectiveness depends more on the AA prevalence or transition rate to CRC than on CTC accuracy or screening compliance.

SUMMARY A catalogue of the Schlegel graphs of all the three‐valent tetrakaidecahedra with faces having at least four edges and at most six edges is presented. These fifty‐nine polyhedra can be used for all purposes in stereology, either as morphological models of grains in microscopic studies of all kinds of materials where the unit cells are supposed in equilibrium, for the experimental and theoretical study of three‐dimensional packing and non‐packing problems or as a conceptual basis for the theoretical frequency computation of occurrences of the different types of polygons in materials observed in slides or polished sections.

CTC requires substantially less colonoscopies than iFOBT and is cost-effective for low values of WTP. However, iFOBT is the preferred screening strategy for a WTP greater than 6207 euro/LYG.
