“…They are appointed for both in hospital as well as outpatient clinic tasks, ranging from invasive diagnostic procedures to consultation. For instance, literature has reported that invasive procedures like the placement of intracranial pressure monitors, ultrasound-assisted percutaneous liver biopsy and dermatologic surgical procedures are both feasible and safe in the hands of trained NPCs [15,16,17]. In the field of CRC, training programs for flexible sigmoidoscopy in the context of screening have been set up and are currently being evaluated [18,19,20].…”

Background/Aims: The 5-year postoperative follow-up for patients undergoing curative treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) is labour intensive. We assessed the added value of a dedicated nonphysician clinician (NPC) in the follow-up of patients after resection for CRC. Methods: Patients were divided into 2 groups as defined by the number of follow-up visits in the first year, including intensive (≥3×) and minimal (≤2×). Involvement of an NPC, diagnosis of disease recurrence and the course of the disease were determined. Results: Of the 681 patients, 79.9% belonged to the “intensive” and 21.1% to the “minimal” group. Involvement of an NPC resulted in a higher adherence to follow-up (84.3 vs. 73.9%, p = 0.001). Overall, patients in regular follow-up less often had multifocal recurrence (47.1 vs. 73.7%, p = 0.04), and a better survival after recurrence (SAR; hazard ratio [HR] 3.604, p < 0.001). The “intensive” group had a significantly better overall survival compared to the “minimal” group (HR 1.71, p = 0.013). Conclusion: Adherence to surveillance programs after resection for CRC is better in hospitals with a dedicated NPC. Overall, patients' adherence to follow-up resulted in less multifocal disease recurrence at the time of diagnosis as compared to patients presenting with symptoms and a better 3-year SAR.
