Real-world patterns of surveillance testing in colorectal cancer (CRC) and the effects on health and cost outcomes are largely unknown. Our objectives were to: 1) assess trends in carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) testing, computerized tomography (CT) scans, and colonoscopy utilization; and 2) examine the value of CEA testing intensity by characterizing receipt of curative treatment for recurrence and measuring direct medical costs. Prospective cohort We used IBM® MarketScan® databases to identify patients diagnosed and treated for CRC between 2008 and 2015. We used a negative binomial model to assess utilization of CEA testing and logistic models to assess utilization of CT scans and colonoscopies. We used a Cox proportional hazards model to assess surveillance intensity and time to curative treatment. We estimated direct medical costs using the Kaplan-Meier sample average estimator to account for censored costs. We identified 3,197 eligible patients. The average number of CEA tests, CT scans, and colonoscopies remained relatively constant in the study period, but adherence to guidelines varied by surveillance. When categorizing individuals by their CEA utilization adherence to guidelines (perfect-utilizers and over-utilizers), over-utilizers had a hazard ratio for curative treatment of 2.11 (95% CI: (1.46, 3.05)) relative to perfect-utilizers. Although over-utilizers underwent potentially curative procedures for recurrence at higher rates compared to perfect-utilizers, direct medical costs were much higher in this group. Higher intensity of surveillance beyond what is recommended by guidelines may lead to earlier recurrence detection and subsequent treatment, but this is associated with significantly higher direct medical costs. Surveillance test trends remained relatively stable recently, and patients who over-utilized surveillance measures had quicker recurrence detection but at higher costs.
