Primary

MeasureTime frame
Study Part I: Frequency of previous early detection examinations. Collected at the end of the study as soon as all questionnaire data have been recorded, checked for plausibility and evaluated. Study Part II: Proportion of participants in whom colorectal neoplasms > 0.5 cm that are detected and removed at screening endoscopy. Collected at the end of the study as soon as all endoscopy data have been recorded, checked for plausibility and evaluated. Study Part III: Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, area under the curve (AUC) of diagnostic tests for detection of CRC and colorectal adenomas. Collected after the end of the study, as soon as bioprobes and associated medical data are included in biosamples analyses of different kinds (for example, metabolomics, proteomics, miRNA, SPS, Expression analysis, sequencing).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Utilization rate of any screening endoscopy. Detection rate of any neoplasm. Patient preference with respect to type of screening endoscopy (proportion). Safety of the applied procedures, complication rates (established routine procedures, standard monitoring of complications).
