American Cancer Society Colorectal Cancer Survivorship Care Guidelines

Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant disease in the United States (U.S.). Almost two-thirds of CRC survivors are living 5 years following diagnosis. The prevalence of CRC survivors is likely to increase dramatically over the coming decades with further advances in early detection and treatment and the aging and growth of the U.S. population. Survivors are at risk for a CRC recurrence, a new primary CRC, other cancers, as well as both short and long-term adverse effects of the CRC and the … Show more

“…Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most frequent malignancies in the world and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality [1,2]. CRC is a highly heterogeneous disease with diverse genetic and clinical manifestations which can have significant impacts on therapeutic outcomes [3][4][5].…”

“…The rationales for these recommendations stem from observational studies and clinical trials that have shown improved progression-free and overall survival rates for those found to have liver or lung metastases who have undergone metastasectomies. 4,5 The guidelines [1][2][3]6 also recommend a surveillance colonoscopy at 1 year following surgery. This has two goals: to remove metachronous lesions which may arise rapidly after the initial resection or which may represent missed lesions; [7][8][9][10][11] and to identify anastomotic recurrences which may develop in up to 4% of patients.…”

“…Survivor transitions to primary care are made feasible by Canada's publicly funded health care system, which ensures the provision of survivorship care regardless of setting. An initial pilot population of colorectal cancer and lymphoma survivors were chosen because of their relatively well-identified survivorship and care coordination needs 20,21 . The tcc applies the most recent evidence-based guidelines and best practices identified by group consensus at the Odette Cancer Centre, such as the provision of treatment summaries and survivorship care plans (scps) 3 .…”
