Follow up and recurrence of colorectal cancer
Original language description
Despite optimal primary treatment, with adequate surgery with or without adjuvant chemotherapy, 30%?50% of patients with colon cancer will relapse and die of their disease. The principal aim of follow-up programmes after curative resection of colorectalcancer is to improve survival (Gan et al., 2007). To achieve this goal, patients are screened for early recurrent disease with the intent of a second curative surgery. Patients with a history of colorectal cancer are also at risk to develop new primary colorectal cancers (CRC). The risk of development of new primary lesions has been estimated to 0,35% per year (Cali et al.,1993). Bouvier et al reported the incidence of metachronous cancer as being 1.8% at five years, 3.4% at 10 years, and 7.2% at 20 years with the greatest excess risk between one and five years post-surgery(Bouvier et al. 2008).
