BACKGROUND: First-degree relatives of patients with colorectal cancer are at increased risk for colorectal cancer as well. Nevertheless, participation in the German national screening program stagnates at 2-3 percent per year even in this high-risk population.
AIM: The study is aimed to increase the portion of the first-degree relatives on 50% which take up a preventive colonoscopy.
METHODS: Cluster-randomized controlled multi-center trial. Study sites (clusters) are mainly certified cancer centers and office-based gastroenterologists from all over Germany. Index-patients with colorectal cancer of different stages are asked to hand over the study material to their relatives, consisting of an invitation to a nurse-led counseling on preventive colonoscopy and an one-to-one appointment with a clinical expert of one of the study sites next.
