List of recommendations from the BSG/ACPGBI/PHE Postpolypectomy and post-colorectal cancer resection surveillance guidelines [Recommended]
These consensus guidelines were jointly commissioned by the British Society of Gastroenterology, the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland and Public Health England. They provide an evidence-based framework for the use of surveillance colonoscopy and non-colonoscopic colorectal imaging in people aged 18 and over.
They are the first guidelines that take into account the introduction of national bowel cancer screening. For the first time, they also incorporate surveillance of patients following resection of either adenomatous or serrated polyps and also post-colorectal cancer-resection.
They are primarily aimed at healthcare professionals, and aim to address:
- Which patients should commence surveillance post-polypectomy and post-cancer resection?
- What is the appropriate surveillance interval?
- When can surveillance be stopped?
The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument provided a methodological framework for the guidelines.The BSG’s guideline developmentprocess was used, which is National Institute of Health and Care Excellence compliant.
