Cancer Sub-Committee

Provision of cancer services within a multidisciplinary team is a core responsibility for most colorectal surgeons and a fundamental component of training. Competency in colorectal cancer management can be assessed through clearly defined and measurable indicators, and the Association has a strong track record in supporting and promoting high standards in this area.

The management of colorectal cancer is becoming increasingly complex, with a growing range of treatment options and opportunities for personalised care. It is essential that patients are offered this breadth of choice, including access to supra-radical surgery, organ preservation strategies, and equitable access to emerging and novel therapies.

The remit of this sub-committee will focus on colorectal cancer and precancerous lesions. It will also encompass related conditions, including gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), neuroendocrine tumours (NET), as well as precursor lesions and cancers of the anus.
