The guidelines for colonoscopy screening and surveillance were developed by the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society based on scientific methods and expert consensus. Limited high-level evidence in this field required a focus on expert opinions. The guidelines consist of 20 clinical questions and eight background knowledge topics as the current guiding principles.
The Colonoscopy Screening and Surveillance Guidelines were developed by the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society as basic guidelines based on the scientific methods. The importance of endoscopic screening and surveillance for both detection and post-treatment follow-up of colorectal cancer has been recognized as essential to reduce disease mortality.

These clinical practice guidelines consist of 20 clinical questions and eight background knowledge topics that have been determined as the current guiding principles.
