Abstract
- Background: In colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, implementing risk-adapted screening might be more effective than traditional screening strategies. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of a risk-adapted screening strategy with colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in CRC screening. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 6 centers in China since May, 2018. 19,546 eligible participants aged 50-74 years were recruited and randomly allocated into one of the 3 screening groups in a 1:2:2 ratio: 1) one-time colonoscopy (n=3916); 2) annual FIT (n=7854); 3) annual risk-adapted screening (n=7776). Based on the risk-stratification score, high-risk subjects were referred for colonoscopy, and low-risk ones were referred for FIT. All Subjects with positive FIT were referred for diagnostic colonoscopy. The detection rate of advanced neoplasm was the primary outcome. Findings: For baselines screening, the participation rates of the colonoscopy, FIT, and risk-adapted screening groups were 42·5% (1665/3916), 94·0% (7386/7854), and 85·2% (6628/7776), respectively. For the intention-to-screen analysis, the detection rates for advanced neoplasm were 2·40% (94/3916), 1·13% (89/7854) and 1·66% (129/7776), with ORs (95% CIs) of 2·16 (1·61-2·90; P
