Abstract
The clinical practice guidelines on the indications for colonoscopy in the diagnosis of neoplasia, published in 1996 by the French National Agency for Accreditation and Evaluation in Healthcare (ANAES, recently renamed “Haute Autorité de Santé” or HAS) [1], were updated in 2004. These guidelines were produced using the three-step method employed by ANAES-HAS: (i) a critical appraisal of the literature, (ii) three meetings of a multidisciplinary working group, and (iii) comments on the draft guidelines obtained from 45 peer reviewers. The guidelines are available in both French and English on the HAS website (www.has.fr) [2]. The report outlining the supportive arguments on which the guidelines are based is available in French only. The guidelines are summarized here in [Table 1].
