The present study aimed to investigate the level of knowledge concerning colorectal carcinoma and its screening and treatment in a group of patients with long-standing and extensive ulcerative colitis.
A postal questionnaire was sent to 61 patients with long-standing and extensive ulcerative colitis. They were asked about their risk of carcinoma, about the existence of screening facilities, and about the treatment of colorectal carcinoma.
Forty-three completed questionnaires were returned. Eighty-six per cent of patients were aware of the increased risk of carcinoma. Only 44% knew that it was possible to screen for colorectal carcinoma. Forty-seven per cent of patients were unaware that carcinoma detected at screening would require surgical removal.
Large numbers of patients are unaware of the existence of screening facilities for colorectal cancer, and are ignorant of the treatment of the disease. Increased public information is required to improve compliance with screening programmes, and to enable patients to take part in decisions about their management.
本研究旨在调查一组患有长期广泛性溃疡性结肠炎的患者对结直肠癌及其筛查和治疗的了解程度。
向61例患有长期广泛性溃疡性结肠炎的患者邮寄了调查问卷。询问他们患癌风险、筛查设施的存在情况以及结直肠癌的治疗情况。
共收回43份完整问卷。86%的患者意识到患癌风险增加。只有44%的患者知道可以进行结直肠癌筛查。47%的患者不知道筛查出的癌症需要手术切除。
大量患者不知道存在结直肠癌筛查设施，且对该疾病的治疗一无所知。需要增加公众信息，以提高对筛查计划的依从性，并使患者能够参与有关其治疗的决策。
