Key Words Colorectal cancer; Post-operative recurrence; Recurrence time; Survival rate; Prognostic factors
Core Tip This study demonstrates that postoperative recurrence time is a strong and independent predictor of long-term outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Early recurrence (≤ 2 years after surgery) is associated with more aggressive pathological features and significantly worse overall survival and post-recurrence survival compared with late recurrence. Recurrence time provides prognostic information beyond tumor-node-metastasis staging and helps refine follow-up strategies and guide individualized treatment. Incorporating recurrence time into clinical decision-making may improve risk stratification and management of CRC patients.
