Summary

This study aims to evaluate whether the use of Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) for patients with low to intermediate risk of suspected colorectal cancer decreases overall NHS costs and waiting times whilst increasing patient satisfaction compared to clinical practice with utilisation of Optical Colonoscopy.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Optical colonoscopy

Patients with suspected colorectal cancer in this group will undergo Optical Colonoscopy as the initial imaging modality.

PROCEDURE

CTC

Patients with suspected colorectal cancer in this group will undergo Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC) as the initial imaging modality. Subsequent imaging might be required based on the findings from the CTC scan, i.e. patients with medium to large polyps or colorectal cancer will undergo Optical Colonoscopy as the second imaging test.
