“Colon cancer When the disease is found at an early stage It will heal quickly and completely, but there are limitations in the endoscopic screening that must be performed by a medical professional. Therefore the waiting period for screening is quite long This screening method will help speed up the waiting time for colon cancer screening. People have more access, ”said Prof Nithi.
Professor Dr. Jirayu Uawarakul, M.D. Vice President, Chulabhorn College of Medical Sciences Research, Innovation and International Relations Department And the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Public Health spoke about the origins of “the development of colon cancer screening programs. With a wide variety of medical technology, ”said from the royal wishes of the Chulabhorn Royal College, Professor Dr. Somdej Phra Chao Nong Nang Thun Prince Chulabhorn Walailak Archarajkumari Krom Phra Sri Swangkhawat Worakattiyarajanari Who have mercy and grace to the people of Thailand Has created a project due to His High Resolution on cancer research studies Under the charity work project On the occasion of the birth of the 4th of July every year since the year 2552 onwards with research studies on various types of cancer such as cancer screening. Research studies in the treatment and prevention of cancer patients. In the past, there have been two research studies on colorectal cancer screening, namely the 2009 “Colorectal Cancer Screening Project” and The merit-making project of the year 2013 “Colon Cancer Screening Project Group 2”
By examining 3,231 Thai citizens aged 50-65 years, 30 cases of colorectal cancer were found in the first, second stage, 80-90% of which have not yet been metastatic. Another 701 polyps were found at risk of developing colon cancer after treatment. Make the participants of this project live longer. Unlike the population of undiagnosed colorectal cancer patients who are screened, which will develop metastatic disease, 70-80% can reduce deaths from colorectal cancer. It was His royal grace to the participants of the project at that time, which was the source of the development of a colon cancer screening program. With a variety of medical technology this time
Professor Jiraporn Dharma Vice President of Chulabhorn College of Medical Sciences Public Relations and Marketing Department And Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences Discussed the technology that the Royal College Chulabhorn brought in to detect colon cancer, another method is a CT Colonography, which can create an image of the colon similar to an endoscopy. And high efficiency It was able to find polyps in the 6 mm colon at 82.9% Sensitivity, 91.4% Specificity, and 10 mm Polyp at the Sensitivity 87.9%, Specificity 97.6%. These polyps, if left for a long time, can become colon cancer. And there are examination techniques that can reduce the detection of stools stuck in the intestines as polyps. Resulting in increased accuracy And this CT colonography can also be used as an endoscopic examination of colon cancer, which is obstructed and unable to pass through the camera. It can also see the outer wall of the colon. And abdominal organs, which can not be seen with endoscopy as well
“Using this technology to lower the cost of colon cancer screening. It is also an easy way to detect. High sensitivity for biopsy, as opposed to laparoscopy. With modern technology, it can be proactive in detecting colon cancer, ”said Prof. Jiraporn.
Assistant professor Dr. Banchon Siripong Prida Project Leader And Assistant Dean for Educational Quality Assurance, Faculty of Medicine and Public Health Have mentioned the benefits of “Development of a colon cancer screening program With a variety of medical technology ”that is a project to study the efficacy of colon cancer screening methods. Which at present there are various methods Including blood tests, stool tests, urine tests, radiological tests Computed tomography And colonoscopy In this project, the focus will be on two main methods: computed tomography. Also known as CT colonography and colonoscopy or colonoscopy, which will be studied in conjunction with blood testing methods, stool testing, urine testing for highly efficient technology. And suitable for the population that will have different characteristics in each person And appropriate to the economic conditions of the country in addition to the study of the relationship of food. And bacteria in the digestive tract that differ from person to person with colon cancer as well. The data from these studies will be used to develop artificial intelligence (AI) technology to assist in colon cancer screening.
Royal College Chulabhorn Inviting Thai citizens between 50 and 70 years old who have never had a history of cancer Never colonoscopy And does not have any underlying diseases that are at risk of attending the “Colon Cancer Screening Program” With a wide range of medical technology ”1,300 free applications Open for applications on December 8, 2020 at 2:00 PM onwards (or until the number is reached) How to apply by phone 0-2576-6000 ext. 8421 -4 and online https://crcscreen.cra.ac.th For more information 0-2576-6000 ext. 8411 (during official days and hours)
