Abstract
Objectives
This study evaluated the utility of faecal calprotectin (FC), tumour pyruvate kinase isoenzyme type M2 (TuM2-PK), and immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT) for detecting colorectal cancer (CRC) and adenomatous polyps (AP) in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), who face elevated CRC and ileocolonic malignancy (ICM) risks. Colonoscopy, the gold standard, carries procedural risks in pwCF, highlighting the need for non-invasive stool biomarkers.
Methods
A prospective study of pwCF meeting CRC screening criteria and undergoing colonoscopy at a single Australian centre (2019–2023). Faecal samples for FC, TuM2-PK, and iFOBT were collected within three months of colonoscopy. Colonoscopy findings of AP and/or ICM were recorded. Biomarker cut-offs were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and Youden's J statistic.
Results
Among 49 participants [mean (SD) age 47.8 (8.2) years; 47% male], 24.5% (12/49) had AP and 4.0% (2/49) had ICM. The youngest patient with AP or ICM was 43. Performance of biomarkers in detecting ICM and AP is presented in Tables 1 and 2.
Conclusion
This study highlights the prevalence of AP and ICM in pwCF, emphasizing CRC screening importance. All biomarkers performed well for ICM, but FC was the only effective tool for AP detection, offering high sensitivity. FC thresholds may guide colonoscopy decisions in pwCF. Validation in larger cohorts is warranted.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cystic Fibrosis is the official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society. The journal is devoted to promoting the research and treatment of cystic fibrosis. To this end the journal publishes original scientific articles, editorials, case reports, short communications and other information relevant to cystic fibrosis. The journal also publishes news and articles concerning the activities and policies of the ECFS as well as those of other societies related the ECFS.
