A CT angiogram, OGD, enteroscopy, barium meal, MRI abdomen and flexible sigmoidoscopy were normal. The diagnosis of rumination syndrome was suspected from the history and witnessed regurgitation; the diagnosis was confirmed by high resolution oesophageal impedance manometry.

In theory, this can be overcome by combining flexible sigmoidoscopy with CTC, and this is still in practice in some centres in the UK. The UK Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (UK BCSP) guidelines however suggest that additional endoscopy is not required alongside CTC to improve diagnostic yield.

Colorectal screening in Piedmont involved inviting 58-year-old individuals to undergo a flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) or, in case of non-adherence, a faecal immunochemical test (FIT). The program also included another protocol based directly on FIT as the first test.

Although a flexible sigmoidoscopy was scheduled, the patient spontaneously passed the stone in his stool before the procedure.

Conclusion: Among various cancer programs, screening sigmoidoscopy has proved to improve both CRC-specific mortality and all-cause mortality. Unfortunately, its utilization is suboptimal, at best.

Methods: In a cohort study including 40,141 participants who received flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) screening in the UK FS Screening Trial, median follow-up was 16.8 years.

Using a Decision Tree Analysis Model, the study compared three screening modalities: Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) followed by colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy alone, sigmoidoscopy alone and alongside no screening....Colorectal cancer screening using FOBT followed by colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy resulted in 7.7 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at a cost of USD 3,573. In contrast, no screening achieved 7.2 QALYs but was more expensive, costing USD 4,084....Screening with only sigmoidoscopy or only colonoscopy provided 6.8 QALYs each, at costs of USD 4,905 and USD 5,002, respectively. Sensitivity analyses explored uncertainties in cost and outcome estimates....FOBT followed by colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy can be considered as an efficient and effective approach towards early detection of CRC.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the diagnostic accuracy of colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS), guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT), fecal immunochemical test (FIT), multi-target stool DNA (mt-sDNA) testing, plasma Septin9 methylation (mSEPT9), computed tomography colonography (

Methods: The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Central, and Ichushi Web databases were searched until October 28, 2024, to find RCTs comparing guaiac-based and immunochemical fecal occult blood testing (gFOBT and FIT), flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS), computed tomographic colonography (CTC), and total
