We have examined the 15 articles from the point of view of potential screening strategies that could be implemented in Belgium (FOBT and colonoscopy) and we have selected 14 articles out of those 15 studies. One article 497 has been rejected from our analysis as the study is mainly dealing with sigmoidoscopic colorectal cancer screening and it did not take into account FOBT or colonoscopy screening as an alternative choice. Table 26 lists the studies retained from the incremental literature search. As mentioned previously we have focussed on economic evaluation studies that compared no screening versus at least one of the two screening strategies we considered for Belgium: FOBT and colonoscopy. We finally retained seven primary research studies for this report: three studies were conducted in USA, and the other in Singapore, France, Israel and Taiwan. We decided to include one study from 2003 that was originally excluded from the New Zealand HTA report 503. We kept this study in our review because it compared different

KCE reports vol.45 Screening for Colorectal Cancer 107 screening strategies including colonoscopy. Only one of the included studies 504 was based on a newly published controlled trial (the Burgundy trial in France). The publication from Ramsey et al. 111 is not about mass screening but a study on how to detect individuals with increased risk based on family history assessment through GP questioning. Therefore, this study will not be evaluated in this chapter.

The detailed evidence tables of these economic evaluations can be found in appendix 6.3.1 Methodology 6.3.1.1 Data The clinical and cost data for the studies comparing FOBT screening versus no screening are in the first place drawn from the three major RCTs (Funen-1 (Denmark), Nottingham (UK) and Minnesota (US)). A recent study 504 was based on the controlled Burgundy trial. These data were supplemented by values from literature, national incidence/mortality data, and relevant cost data based on the specific health care systems. In contrast with the RCT based FOBT studies, the scenarios analysing immunochemical FOBT and/or colonoscopy (and other screening alternatives) are not supported by data from RCTs. Almost all studies are cost effectiveness analyses. Only Whynes 489, 490 and Stone 502 performed a cost utility analysis. The study by Whynes et al. expressed results as costs per Quality Adjusted Life Year gained (QALYs) and the quality of life data were taken from earlier empirical investigations 508, 509. The study by Stone et al. calculated costs per disability adjusted life years (DALYs) using the Burden of Disease methodology 510. 6.3.1.2 Perspective of the studies The perspective of almost all included studies is that of the third-party payer in a governmentally funded health system. Although the study of Frazier 496 claims to use a societal perspective, only direct costs to the health care system were
