“…The cohort study also found that the risk of CRC occurrence is increased by cholecystectomy (Schernhammer et al, 2003). Findings of another study also indicate that cholecystectomy is associated with an increased risk for colon cancer (Shao and Yang, 2005). Abnormal bile duct metabolism increases the gallstone formation, leading to an increased risk of CRC.…”

A rapid literature search strategy was conducted for all English language literature published before July 2017. The search was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. The search strategy included the keywords 'colorectal cancer', 'epidemiology', 'incidence', 'mortality', 'risk factor', and 'world'. In 2012, the highest CRC incidence rates were observed in the Republic of Korea, Slovakia and Hungary while the lowest incidence rates were seen in Singapore, Serbia and Japan. The highest CRC mortality rates in both sexes were seen in Central and Eastern Europe and the lowest mortality rates were found in Middle Division of Africa. The main risk factors for CRC include nutritional factors, past medical history, smoking, socioeconomic status, and family medical history. According to the increasing trend of CRC incidence and mortality in the world, implementation of prevention programs such as screening programs, diet modification, and healthy lifestyle education is necessary.

“…42 A causal association has been supported by the mechanisms after cholecystectomy, which include a continuous bile flow into the bowel. 43,44 The predilection of the right-side colon has been suggested through a greater proximal colonic absorption of fecal secondary bile acids, 15 which have been considered carcinogenic for a long time.…”

“…A history of chronic cholecystitis or cholecystectomy, chronic appendicitis or appendectomy, and chronic diarrhea also had higher sensitivity than HAP, indicating that these unique Chinese high risk factors can detect a larger number of advanced neoplasias. Some studies have found an increase in the risk of CRC following cholecystectomy for gallstones [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] . Cholecystectomy also influences the adenoma to cancer transition, ultimately predisposing to the development of CRC [28] .…”

AIM:To analyze the performance value of high risk factors in population-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in China. METHODS:We compared the performance value of the immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) and other high risk factors questionnaire in a population sample of 13 214 community residents who completed both the iFOBT and questionnaire investigation. Patients with either a positive iFOBT and/or questionnaire were regarded as a high risk population and those eligible were asked to undergo colonoscopy. RESULTS:The iFOBT had the highest positive predictive value and negative predictive value in screening for advanced neoplasia. The iFOBT had the highest sensitivity, lowest number of extra false positive results associated with the detection of one extra abnormality for screening advanced neoplasias and adenomas. A history of chronic cholecystitis or cholecystectomy, chronic appendicitis or appendectomy, and chronic diarrhea also had a higher sensitivity than a history of adenomatous polyps in screening for advanced neoplasias and adenomas. The sensitivity of a history of chronic cholecystitis or cholecystectomy was highest among the 10 high risk factors in screening for nonadenomatous polyps. A history of chronic appendicitis or appendectomy, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, mucous and bloody stool, CRC in first degree relatives, malignant tumor and a positive iFOBT also had higher sensitivities than a history of adenomas polyps in screening for non-adenomatous polyps. Except for a history of malignant tumor in screening for non-adenomatous polyps, the gain in sensitivity was associated with an increase in extra false positive results associated with the detection of one extra abnormality. CONCLUSION:The iFOBT may be the best marker for screening for advanced neoplasias and adenomas. Some unique high risk factors may play an important role in CRC screening in China.
