Editorial Colonoscopic localisation of colorectal tumoursColonoscopy is the gold standard technique for the diagnosis of colon and rectal cancers in the UK. It is routinely performed in hospitals across the NHS by both consultants (gastroenterologists or general surgeons) and trained nurse specialists, where if they perform at least one colonoscopy session a week, will perform approximately 250 colonoscopies a year. Caecal intubation rates, which are used as a marker for colonoscopy completion, are recorded with guidelines recommending that intubation should be achieved in over 90%.
