Summary
Colorectal cancer is the first neoplasm most commonly diagnosed in both sexes and the second
leading cause of cancer death in Spain. Colorectal cancer screening Program in Barcelona was
implanted in 2009 and approximately 1,500 colorectal cancer screening colonoscopies are
performed annually at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. Adequate colon preparation (anterograde
cleansing with laxatives) improves polyp detection, decreases examination time, and
complications. There are both low and high volume intestinal regimens with polyethylene
glycol (PEG) as the main active ingredient or without it.
Hypothesis: Two low volumen regimens, 1L PEG plus ascorbate and magnesium citrate plus
picosulphate, at starting doses have the same Adenoma Detection Rate as cleansing solutions
in preparation for screening colonoscopy.
