Community-basedScreeningPrograms
Aitkenetalinitiatedalargerandomizedtrialtodeterminetheeffectivenessofcommunity-basedscreeninginreducingmortalityfrommelanomainAustralia(7).In2002,resultsfromthefirstphaseofthetrialdemonstratedthefeasibilityofimplementingtheprogram,whichconsistedofcommunityeducation,generalpractitionereducation,andscreeningclinicstopromoteself-screeningandwhole-bodyscreeningbygeneralpractitioners.Earlyresultsdetectedanincreaseinthepercentageofsubjectsreportingwhole-bodyskinexaminationbyaphysician12monthsafterrandomizationcomparedtocontrolcommunities(27%versus[vs]12%;11%inbothgroupsreportedreceivinganexamintheyearbeforethestudy).Theimpactofscreeningonmortalitywillrequirefollow-upofthosecommunitiesover15years,althoughthelackofadequatefundinghasjeopardizedthecompletionofthetrialasplanned.
Attheendofthethree-yearinterventionperiod(1998-2001),atelephonesurveyofasampleofpeopleinthestudycommunitiesindicatedthatpeoplecouldaccuratelyrecallwhethertheyhadhadaclinicalwhole-bodyskinexaminthepreviousthreeyears.Concordanceofself-andmedicalrecordreportswas94%,withsensitivity92%andspecificity96%(22).

Berwicketalusedacase-controlstudyofmelanomatoinvestigatewhetherSSEwasbeneficial(9).ThestudyassessedthepotentialofSSEforprimarypreventionofmelanoma(i.e.,reductionofmelanomarisk)andsecondaryprevention(earlydetection)separately,aswellasthejointimpactonmelanomamortalityreduction.Interviewswereconductedwith650individualswithmelanomasdiagnosedin1987-1989,identifiedfromtheConnecticutTumorRegistry,and549populationcontrols,selectedfromtheConnecticutpopulationbyrandom-digitdialling.AllsubjectswereCaucasian.Participantswereaskedabouttheirhistoryofdoing―careful,deliberateandpurposefulskinselfexamination‖priortodiagnosis/interview;17%ofcontrols(n=96)and13%(n=86)ofcasesrepliedaffirmatively.Melanomacaseswerefollowedthrough1994fordevelopmentof―lethalmelanoma‖;30developeddistantmetastasesbutwerestillalive,and80diedfrommelanoma.
ThecomparisonoftheuseofSSEincasesandcontrolsindicatedareducedriskofmelanomaassociatedwithSSEforprimaryprevention,withanoddsratio(OR)of0.66(95%confidenceinterval[CI],0.44to0.99)afteranadjustmentforage,sex,andanumberofphenotypicriskfactorsandestimatedsunexposure.Intermsofsecondaryprevention,SSEwasassociatedwithareducedriskofdeveloping―lethalmelanoma‖(OR,0.56).ThecombinedprimaryandsecondarypreventioneffectsofSSErepresentanestimateofthepotentialforSSEtoreducemelanomamortality,theusualdesirableendpointforevaluatingscreeningeffectiveness.TheadjustedORrepresentingthisreductionis0.37(95%CI,0.16to0.84),whichisalsotheproductofprimaryandsecondarypreventionORs(i.e.,0.66x0.56=0.37).
