Surveillance after Colorectal Neoplasia

The aim of the expert working group on surveillance after removal of colorectal neoplasia is to improve the quality of the scientific evidence regarding post-polypectomy surveillance, including the clinical impact on patients and the demands on the health system associated with different surveillance programs tailored to a patient’s specific history.

Chairs:

Dr Rodrigo Jover (Spain)
Dr Uri Ladabaum (USA)

Our goals include:

  • To define unanswered questions in post-polypectomy surveillance
  • To create strategies to answer these questions
  • To support and set up cooperative studies whose aim is to build robust evidence to answer these questions.
