Follow-up strategies for patients treated for non-metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract

Follow-up strategies for patients treated for non-metastatic colorectal cancer.

The effect of surveillance intensity on long-term survival following curative surgical treatment for solid cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses of colorectal cancer demonstrated that intensive follow-up after curative resection for colorectal cancer improved survival at five years, conflicting with the results presented here 46,[50][51][52][53] . Limitations of the aforementioned studies include limited quantities of articles and the high risk of bias in the included trials.…”

What carcinoembryonic antigen level should trigger further investigation during colorectal cancer follow-up? A systematic review and secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial

“…The number of recurrences in the FACS trial of < 20% is similar to that reported in other recent trials of adjuvant therapy such as the Multicenter International Study of Oxaliplatin/5-Fluorouracil/Leucovorin in the Adjuvant Treatment of Colon Cancer (MOSAIC) trial 29 but less than that in the previous trials reported in the review by Jeffery et al 11 and most of the diagnostic accuracy studies cited in our review. 16 This almost certainly reflects the completion of any adjuvant treatment and very intensive investigation for residual disease that occurred prior to trial entry in the FACS trial.…”

Follow Up and Recurrence of Colorectal Cancer

“…Studies previously conducted and their meta-analyses may be problematic because of nonstandard combinations of investigations and also non-standard frequency. Intensive followup study in one study is very similar to that in other studies considered to be less intense (Jeffery et al, 2007). (Tjandra & Chan, 2007;Rosen et al, 1998).…”
