Cost effectiveness and projected national impact of colorectal cancer screening in France

Abstract: A screening program based on FIT 1-year appeared to be the most cost-effective approach for CRC screening in France. However, a substantial uncertainty over this choice is still present.

“…1,2 This growing need for endoscopic services is driving the search for more efficient and less costly procedures that minimize patient discomfort without compromising their safety. 3,4 Sedation is an important aspect of endoscopic procedures as it improves the quality of the examination, patient satisfaction, and patient adherence to screening and surveillance regimens. [4][5][6] With the vast majority of patients preferring to receive sedation, the cost that sedation adds to endoscopic procedures must also be considered.…”

“…As to which test is the most cost effective in terms of CRC screening is a subject that is hotly debated, with evidence supporting each of the aforementioned modalities [84][85][86][87][88][89]. Cost-effectiveness analysis is mainly carried out by modeling, and heterogeneity in the comparative research methodology employed in different studies makes it difficult to draw comparisons and to decipher the 'true' cost-effectiveness between different screening strategies.…”

“…Another interesting consideration, especially given the public health context of mass screening, is cost-effectiveness and how it correlates to specificity and sensitivity. Although uncertainty remains, the assessment of a screening program based on FIT for a one-year period in France seemed to be the most cost-effective approach (Hassan, et al, 2011). More research is necessary, as for example indicating what the best cut-off levels for colonoscopy referral are, without compromising sensitivity, to determine optimal public health approaches.…”
