Postoperative Surveillance in Patients With Colorectal Cancer Who Have Undergone Curative Resection: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Abstract: A more intensive surveillance strategy improves the prognosis of patients with stage II colorectal cancer or those with rectal tumors. Inclusion of regular performance of colonoscopy seems justified up to the fifth year of follow-up, at least.

“…Eine kürzliche Cochrane Publikation [1256] schloss 3 weitere Studien in diese Metaanalyse ein [1255,1257,1258]. Es fand sich ein Überlebensvorteil für intensiver nachgesorgte Patienten nach 5 Jahren (OR 0,73; 95 % CI 0,59 -0,91), wobei aber die absolute Zahl an entdeckten Rezidiven in beiden Gruppen gleich war [30].…”

“…However, the identification of local recurrence and metachronous (new) carcinoma also is an important aspect of follow-up; thus, endoscopy plays a central part in several surveillance guidelines. 4,6,7,25,26 Patients who are under observation may be referred for more extensive imaging, either because regular imaging forms part of the surveillance strategy or because tumor recurrence is suggested by the development of new symptoms, or a rise in tumor marker levels, most often the serial assessment of CEA. 10 Although evidence points toward a survival benefit for patients who undergo surveillance, the optimal protocol remains to be determined.…”

“…[4][5][6] Consequently, heterogeneity is reported concerning compliance, effectiveness, costs, and survival benefits among studies. 4,[6][7][8][9] The only tumor marker in widespread clinical use for CRC surveillance is the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The large number of tests required for serial serum measurement of CEA to detect 1 (asymptomatic) curable recurrence makes this test costly from an overall cost-benefit perspective.…”

“…Treatment is based on curative surgical resection (R0). However, approximately half of the patients who undergo curative R0 surgery go on to develop recurrent disease, and the median survival time after the operation is no more than 2 years (Griffin et al, 1987;Rodriguez-Moranta et al, 2006). Adjuvant chemotherapy improves prognosis in these patients, but more than one-third of them still experience recurrence within the 2 years following curative therapy (Moertel et al, 1995;Mitry et al, 2005;Van Cutsem and Costa, 2005).…”

“…The preferred treatment for patients with recurrent disease is resection of the metastases in the liver or lung, and this can result in a 5-year survival rate of 35 -40% (Scheele et al, 1990;Fong et al, 1997). This is why these patients should be followed-up using either clinical or biological exams, as well as imaging procedures (Desch et al, 2005;Rodriguez-Moranta et al, 2006;Sjovall et al, 2007).…”
