| Core Tip |
Post-surgical follow-up of colorectal cancer allows detection of local and distant recurrences. The incidence of metastasis or recurrence within the first 3-5 years after surgery is high. However, evidence on diagnostic yield of computed tomography (CT), colonoscopy and tumour markers (TMs) and impact on survival is limited. CT scan is associated with the highest yield for metastasis and recurrence detection. If follow-up is performed with blood test TMs only, an important proportion of recurrences would be missed. Compliance with intensive follow-up is an independent protective factor against mortality. |
