About BCCA

The Binational Colorectal Cancer Audit (BCCA) is a CSSANZ initiative used for clinical audit of the surgical practices of Australian and New Zealand surgeons for the purpose of quality assurance as well as critically important research. First established in 2007 the database went online in 2013, making it more accessible, more useful and easier than ever before. The audit is applicable to all surgeons who see patients with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
