Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigatior believe that implementing camera capsule endoscopy as a filter test to colonoscopy will increase screening participation, increase the number of individuals with detected intermediate- high risk adenomas or cancer, reduce the colonoscopy demand and reduce the number of complications.

- description
- If the FIT test is returned and positive the individual can choose either Camera Capsule Endoscopy (CCE) or Optical colonoscopy (OC) as the primary bowel investigation. If OC is chosen, it is performed as standard and the participant outcomes remains analyzed in the intervention group as intention to treat. If CCE is chosen an out-clinic CCE will be done at one of four regional sites. Overall and segmental bowel preparation grade (Leighton-Rex 1-4) and all pathological findings are reported. If the anal verge is identified without video blackout in the colon the transit is considered complete. Any incomplete CCE investigation will be followed by standard optical endoscopy to the extent needed to investigate the proportion of the colon not visualized by the capsule and remove any detected polyps. If the CCE is complete with complete transit and adequate preparation, individuals with more than two polyps or one polyp over 9 mm will be referred for colonoscopy.

- The control group will be invited to screening as usual. The intervention group will be informed that if the fecal test is returned and positive they can either choose to have an initial colon capsule endoscopy, and only colonoscopy if significant findings are made or an initial colonoscopy as usual.
