Abstract:
Tumor recurrence after "curative" resection for colorectal carcinoma is observed in approximately half of the patients. Careful follow up after surgery of the primary tumour should allow early diagnosis of the recurrence, local or metastatic, mostly within the liver. Reoperation for resection of the recurrence should be discussed, because, if possible, it can prolong survival, or even cure some of the patients.
