Executive Summary
The French society for endoscopy of the digestive system has added its voice to calls for swifter introduction nationally of colorectal screening in France. In its view, colonoscopy screening should be offered to the over 45s who are considered at risk, and Haemoccult tests to the general population from the age of 50, followed by colonoscopy where the results are positive. Haemoccult screening is already carried out in 22 departements in France; the French government foresees the introduction of colorectal screening as part of its 2003-08 cancer plan.
