Principles of ScreeningPrinciples of Screening
Appropriateness of a screening test
• the disease
• the test
• the population
Potential Adverse Effects of Potential Adverse Effects of ScreeningScreening
– physical complications of the test– consequences of false positives
• anxiety
• complications from work-up
• labeling/insurability
– over treating insignificant abnormalities– financial costs
ScreeningScreening
Cervical Cancer Breast Cancer Colorectal Cancer Lung Cancer Ovarian Cancer
Cervical Cancer ScreeningCervical Cancer Screening
Since early 1970’s, mortality has decreased 74%
Largely attributable to screening with the Pap smear
Majority of disease now occurs in women with inadequate screening
Cervical CancerCervical Cancer
Progression: HPV infxn high grade lesion invasive disease
On average, initial HPV infxn to invasive cancer takes 10-20 years
Lifetime risk of acquiring at least 1 HPV infxn estimated as high as > 90%
Majority of these infections are transient
Cervical CancerCervical Cancer
Over 100 HPV types, 13 are associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
Most HPV infxns never progress beyond low grade disease (CIN 1)• Women 15-25 years of age ~ 80% of HPV
infections are transient
80 -90% of low grade cervical abnormalities will regress spontaneously
HPV TestingHPV Testing
2 commercially available assays for the “oncogenic” HPV types
These 13 types account for ~ 90% of HPV types associated with HSIL and cervical cancer
HPV TestingHPV Testing
Most established role of testing is to “triage” ASCUS results• HPV + : double the probability of
HSIL (15%)• HPV - : less than 1% chance of HSIL
Role in primary screening less well-established
Current Current RecommendationsRecommendations
USPSTF (2003)• begin w/in 3 yrs of first sexual activity or 21
yo, whichever first• after 2-3 normal annual Paps, screen every 3
yrs• in women who have had adequate screening
(3 Paps in preceding 10 years) stop at 65• no screening if hysterectomy for benign
causes
Current Current RecommendationsRecommendations
ACS (2009)• begin w/in 3 yrs of first sexual activity or 21 yo,
whichever first• annual Paps until age 30 (or q 2 yrs with liquid-based
cytology)• after 3 normal annual Paps
• may begin every 2-3 yr screening • may opt for HPV and Pap testing every 3 years
• annual screening if HIV, DES exposure, or significant immunosuppression
• if adequate screening, stop at 70
Current Current RecommendationsRecommendations
ACOG (11/2009)• begin at age 21• every 2 years Paps until age 30 • Age 30 and older, after 3 consecutive normal Paps
should be screened once every 3 years• annual screening if HIV, DES exposure, or
significant immunosuppression• may stop at 65 – 70 if
• 3 negative cytology results in a row• No abnormal test in the past 10 years
Breast CancerBreast Cancer
Most prevalent cancer in women Second leading cause of cancer deaths Average lifetime risk of developing breast
cancer is 1 in 8• 40’s: 1 in 69• 50’s: 1 in 38• 60’s: 1 in 27
Breast Cancer ScreeningBreast Cancer Screening
Breast Self Exam

Breast Self Exam (BSE)Breast Self Exam (BSE)
2 RCT’s, 1 large non-RCT F/U 5-13 yrs No reductions in mortality No significant improvement in # or stage of
cancers detected 2-fold increase in biopsies (benign) in BSE
grps
Clinical Breast ExamClinical Breast Exam
No direct evidence comparing CBE alone to no screening
Reductions in mortality observed when used with mammography
Reductions in mortality in mammography trials alone similar to that using CBE with mammography
MammographyMammography
Positive predictive value
• Aged 40-49: 1-4%
• Aged 50-59: 4-9%
• Aged 60-69: 10-19%
• 70 and over: 18-20%
MammographyMammography
9 RCTs: 0-32% mortality reduction Meta-analysis shows:
• 50 yo and over: RR = 0.78 (CI, .70-.87)• 22% reduction in breast cancer mortality
• 40-49 yo: RR=0.85 (CI, .77-.97)• 15% reduction in breast cancer mortality
Only 1 study included women up to 74 yo• No statistically significant benefit in women 70-74 but
numbers small

USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations (2009)Recommendations (2009)
The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years. Grade: B recommendation.
The decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before the age of 50 years should be an individual one and take patient context into account, including the patient's values regarding specific benefits and harms. Grade: C recommendation.
USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations (2009)Recommendations (2009)
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older. Grade: I Statement.
The USPSTF recommends against teaching breast self-examination (BSE).Grade: D recommendation.
USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations (2009)Recommendations (2009)
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of clinical breast examination (CBE) beyond screening mammography in women 40 years or older. Grade: I Statement.
The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harms of either digital mammography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of film mammography as screening modalities for breast cancer. Grade: I Statement.
Other Groups’ Other Groups’ RecommendationsRecommendations
AAFP (2009) – AAFP (2009) – all recommendations in agreement with new USPSTF guidelines
ACSACS• Begin annual mammography at 40• CBE q 3 yr 20-40, yearly after 40• BSE option, beginning at 20
Screening Screening Recommendations: MRIRecommendations: MRI
ACS now recommends annual MRI (in addition to mammo) for women with lifetime risk estimate at least 20-25%
Also recommended for women with h/o chest irradiation for HD
? When to begin ? Personal h/o breast CA, LCIS, ADH
ASCO Screening ASCO Screening Recommendations for High-Risk Recommendations for High-Risk WomenWomen
Screening breast MRI appears to be more sensitive than mammography in high-risk women
BRCA 1/2 carriers should be screened with annual MRI, mammography and possibly ultrasound
The decision to use breast MRI in high-risk patients should be made on an individual basis
Colorectal Cancer (CRC)Colorectal Cancer (CRC)
Third leading cause of cancer deaths Lifetime incidence is 5%, lifetime
mortality is 2.5%• 1 first-degree relative, RR=1.7• 2 first-degree relatives, RR=2.7
Highest risk - familial polyposis syndromes and long-standing UC
Fecal occult blood testing Fecal occult blood testing (FOBT)(FOBT)
4 RCTs – all show mortality benefit
• Over 46,000 subjects ages 50-80• annual FOBT v. no screening
• 33% reduction in CRC mortality
• Biennial FOBT ages 45-74• 15% - 18% reduction in mortality
Flexible SigmoidoscopyFlexible Sigmoidoscopy
2 large case-control studies - 60% reduction in risk of death from CRC
1 RCT – showed increased detection rate of adv neoplasms and cancers compared to FOBT
Detects approx 50% of CRCs and adenomatous polyps• up to 3% of pts screened will have
advanced neoplasm that sigmoidoscopy will miss
ColonoscopyColonoscopy
No RCTs Identification and removal of adenomas is the
central element of reducing CRC incidence and mortality
One case-control study showed odds ratio for CRC mortality was 0.43
All other screening strategies include colonoscopy
Screening Recommendations Screening Recommendations (2008)(2008)
The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) using fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy, in adults, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years. The risks and benefits of these screening methods vary.
Grade: A Recommendation The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for
colorectal cancer in adults age 76 to 85 years. There may be considerations that support colorectal cancer screening in an individual patient. Grade: C Recommendation
Screening Recommendations Screening Recommendations (2008)(2008)
The USPSTF recommends against screening for colorectal cancer in adults older than age 85 years. Grade: D Recommendation
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to assess the benefits and harms of computed tomographic colonography and fecal DNA testing as screening modalities for colorectal cancer. Grade: I Statement.
CRC ScreeningCRC Screening
Most groups agree that any strategy patient agrees to should be offered:• annual FOBT• sigmoidoscopy q 5 ys• annual FOBT + flex sig q 5 yrs• colonoscopy q 10 yrs
CRC screening is cost-effective at less than $30K per year saved regardless of strategy
Lung CancerLung Cancer
Leading cause of cancer-related death among women and men in the US.
Average 5-yr survival rates < 15%• 70% for stage I• < 5% for stage IV
USPSTF 1996 recommended against screening based on RCT data of CXR and sputum cytology screening
CXR +/- Sputum CytologyCXR +/- Sputum Cytology
6 RCTs (men only)
• varying screening intervals
• no benefit to those screened
• all studies limited by some level of screening in control groups
Mortality in randomized, controlled trials of lung cancer screening with chest radiography with or without sputum cytologic examination.

Low Dose CT (LDCT)Low Dose CT (LDCT)
Sensitivity 4 times greater than CXR 8 cohort studies using LDCT
• lung cancer diagnosed at earlier stage
• high rate of FPs
• cannot evaluate mortality outcomes without control groups
Low Dose CT (LDCT)Low Dose CT (LDCT)
RCTs
• National Lung Screening Trial (NCI)• LDCT vs. CXR
• NELSON Trial (Dutch study)• LDCT vs. no screening
National Lung Screening National Lung Screening TrialTrial
RCT
• >53,000 current or former heavy smokers
• Age 55 – 74
• 3 annual screenings with LDCT vs. CXR
• 90% statistical power to detect 20% mortality reduction
National Lung Screening National Lung Screening TrialTrial
On October 28, 2010 the DSMB stopped the trial
A 20% reduction in lung cancer deaths was found in the LDCT screened group
6.9% reduction in all-cause mortality (secondary endpoint)
Await full publication of the results
USPSTF May, 2004USPSTF May, 2004
I Recommendation fair evidence that screening with LDCT, CXR, or sputum
cytology can detect lung cancer at an earlier stage than lung cancer would be detected in an unscreened population
poor evidence that any screening strategy for lung cancer decreases mortality
because of the invasive nature of diagnostic testing and the possibility of a high number of false-positive tests in certain populations, there is potential for significant harms from screening
Ovarian CancerOvarian Cancer
Fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in women
Low incidence in general population• overall incidence is 17 per 100,000• in women over 50, 44 per 100,000
for average risk women, an abnormal screening test will have a 1-4% positive predictive value
Ovarian Cancer ScreeningOvarian Cancer Screening
Screening is Problematic
• Low PPV (low prevalence)
• High mortality
• No well-defined precursor lesion
• FPs lead to serious morbidity
Ovarian Cancer ScreeningOvarian Cancer Screening
CA-125 Transvaginal Ultrasound 16 Fair-poor quality cohort studies:
• Sensitivities 80-100%
• False positives .6-2.5%
Ovarian Cancer ScreeningOvarian Cancer Screening
1 RCT of multimodal screening• non-statistically signif improvement in
stage 1 detection (50% vs. 5%) 2 large cohort studies of UTZ
• 59-65% diagnosed in stage 1 No evidence that detecting early stage cancer
through screening decreases mortality 3 RCTs in progress to evaluate mortality
Ovarian Cancer ScreeningOvarian Cancer Screening
USPSTF (2004): D recommendation There is no existing evidence that any screening test,
including CA-125, ultrasound, or pelvic examination, reduces mortality from ovarian cancer
existing evidence that screening can detect early-stage ovarian cancer is insufficient to indicate that this earlier diagnosis will reduce mortality
Because of the low prevalence of ovarian cancer and the invasive nature of diagnostic testing after a positive screening test, there is fair evidence that screening could likely lead to important harms
Ovarian Cancer ScreeningOvarian Cancer Screening
Routine screening NOT recommended by any professional organization
ACS• hi-risk women may benefit from screening
with CA-125 and UTZ ACOG
• stay vigilant for early sxs and w/u when present
