We conducted a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program, in which public pharmacies provided the faecal occult blood test (FOBT), addressed to 50-70 years residents of 12th Municipality of Rome. A total of 5003 subjects were invited and 1103 (22.0%) performed the screening test, the adjusted compliance was 24.0%. Among 72 (6.5%) FOBT-positive subjects, 50 (69.5%) had colonoscopies; a CRC was detected in 5 subjects. Screening through the public pharmacies was feasible but the limited number of pharmacies enrolled have influenced compliance. A screening model that offers multiple providers (including private pharmacies) should be tested in order to improve screening compliance.
我们开展了一项结直肠癌(CRC)筛查项目,在该项目中,公共药房为罗马第12市50至70岁的居民提供粪便潜血试验(FOBT)。总共邀请了5003名受试者,1103名(22.0%)进行了筛查测试,校正后的依从率为24.0%。在72名(6.5%)FOBT呈阳性的受试者中,50名(69.5%)接受了结肠镜检查;5名受试者检测出患有CRC。通过公共药房进行筛查是可行的,但参与的药房数量有限影响了依从性。应该测试一种提供多个提供者(包括私人药房)的筛查模式,以提高筛查依从性。
