General practitioners ’ preferences with regard to colorectal cancer screening organisation Colon cancer screening medico-legal aspects

In France, colorectal cancer mass screening has been implemented since 2008 [1]. The State and the health insurance Fund delegate the organization and the promotion of this screening to local associations. More precisely, these management structures are operational bodies under the authority of the Ministry of Health which are responsible for identifying the target population and inviting them by mail to carry out the screening. Decrees published in the French Official Journal of Legislation define the resources and tasks of the management structures, in particular in terms of programme evaluation and compliance with regulatory and ethical aspects (quality assurance, consent, confidentiality [2,3]).
