Colorectal cancer screening policy in Europe
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 January 2009
Extract
We agreed with Gulácsi et al. on their perception about our article that did not include those eastern European countries that have recently joined the European Union. It does not mean that we tried to provide partial information or that we wanted to diminish the information with other purposes. In fact, the title of our article when it was sent to be published was: “Screening for colon-rectal cancer in the Europe of fifteen, Norway and Switzerland. So equal, so different. Is it time for a common approach?” and so was the title of the oral communication presented in the Annual Meeting of HTAi held in Montreal last summer (7). Even when we believed that this title was more accurate to the data provided in the article, we finally followed the suggestions of the reviewers to make the title short and comprehensive.
