Predictors of Recurrence After Curative Surgery for Stage I Colon Cancer: Retrospective Cohort Analysis of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology Colorectal Cancer Network Collaborative Group.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study is to provide solid evidence to update the management of stage I colon cancer (CC) after surgery.

Background

Given the low risk of recurrence of stage I CC, some international guidelines do not recommend intensive follow-up after surgery. However, data on the actual incidence, risk factors, and site of recurrences are scarce.

Methods

This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study considering patients who underwent surgery at 25 Italian centers between 2010 and 2019, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. A total of 1883 consecutive adult patients with stage I CC treated with curative surgery were considered, and 1611 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The primary outcome was the rate of recurrence. Secondary outcomes included survival
