Advanced Malignancy Subcommittee

Management of advanced colorectal cancer is becoming increasingly specialised and important. Its provision within Trusts is of strategic importance to improve the efficiency and quality of care for patients. It is a key hospital service that requires substantial development.

The purpose of the Advanced Malignancy Subcommittee is to represent and support ACPGBI members.

This Advanced Malignancy Subgroup mirrors IBD, Emergency Surgery, Pseudomyxoma and Endoscopy subgroups that similarly report through MCC.
