The latest Annual Evidence Update on Colorectal Cancer runs from 6 to 10 April and coincides with Bowel Cancer Awareness month. The Annual Evidence Update consists of all relevant systematic reviews and national guidelines that have emerged in the twelve months since last year's Annual Evidence Update. These are the topic areas covered this year:

* Causes, risks and prevention

* Assessment and diagnosis

* Treatment and disease management

* Service delivery and standards

The National Library for Health (NLH) Specialist Libraries have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each NLH Specialist Library identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
