Wendy Sheila Atkin {{post-nominals|country=GBR|OBE|FMedSci}} (née Green, 5 April 1947 – 2 October 2018)[1][2][3] was an emeritus Professor of Gastrointestinal Epidemiology at Imperial College London.

Education

Atkin studied pharmacy at the University of London gaining a bachelor's degree in 1968.[1][2] She studied public health at Columbia University, which she graduated in 1985 with a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in 1984.[2][9] She joined University College London for her graduate studies, where she researched the long-term risk of colorectal cancer following the removal of adenomas and was awarded a PhD in 1991.[4][5]

Career and research

Atkin joined the Colorectal Cancer Unit at Cancer Research UK in St Mark's Hospital, and was made deputy director in 1997.[5] She was made an senior lecturer at Imperial College London in 1997, reader in 2000{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} and professor in 2004.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}

From 1994 she worked with Jane Wardle on a trial of flexible sigmoidoscopy that included endoscopic examination of the colon, reporting that 40% of colorectal cancers could be prevented by this intervention.[6][7] She compared the screening to a Faecal occult blood (FOB) test.[8] In 2008 she moved to St Mary's Hospital, London, where she established the Cancer Screening and Prevention Research Group.[5] The group researches bowel cancer and, ultimately, aims to reduce the number of people who die from the disease.[9] Their 2010 paper outlining the results of the UK Flexible Sigmoidoscopy Screening Trial was the most frequently cited paper in The Lancet that year.[10][11][12][13][14][15] The landmark study was a randomised controlled trial of almost 400,000 adults across 14 areas in the UK.[16][17] If there were any polyps, people were referred for a colonoscopy.[18] The strategy was rolled out by the UK National Screening Committee in 2011 and was expected to achieved complete population coverage in 2016.[19][20] This was achieved with a £60 million investment from the UK government. It's estimated to prevent 5,000 cancer diagnoses and 3,000 deaths a year.[19] They found an increased risk in bowel polyps from eating red meat.[21] They examined the incidence and mortality for the following 17 years, finding that people involved in the screening had a 41% lower mortality.[22][23][24] The bowel cancer screening test BowelScope can prevent 35% of bowel cancers.[25][26]

Atkin went on to create a Special Interest Group (SIG) on Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiologists 1 (SIGGAR1), which analysed the effectiveness of virtual colonoscopy.[27][28] They found it was less invasive and more effective at finding precancerous polyps and bowel cancer.[29] She researched the optimum timing of surveillance strategies for people who were at high risk of bowl cancer.[29] Atkin established a patient-friendly process that would invite, screen and follow-up the whole population.[30] She found that patients at risk of developing bowel cancer benefitted significantly from a follow-up colonoscopy.[31][32][33]

She served as an expert advisor for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines for Colonoscopic Surveillance.[5] She served on several advisory committees and boards.[13] She retired from Imperial College London in August 2018 and was made Emeritus Professor.[9] She died on 2 October 2018.[1][3]

Awards and honours

  • 2015 Elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci)[19][34]
  • 2013 Appointed Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Bowel Cancer Prevention in the 2013 Birthday Honours.[35]
  • 2012 Awarded the Bengt Ihre Medal by the Swedish Society of Medicine [34][1]
  • 2011 Awarded the President's Medal by the British Society of Gastroenterologists [36]
