Previous meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of follow up after curative colorectal cancer resection have shown survival benefit in patients undergoing ‘intensive’follow up, with odds ratio of 0.73 (95% CI 0.59–0.91) and 0.74 (95% CI: 0.59–0.93) respectively over ‘less intensive’follow up (Jeffery et al., 2007; Tjandra & Chan, 2007). There was a reduction in the time to recurrence and more curative surgical procedures performed in the intensively followed up arm but there is no consensus as to what constitutes ‘intensive’follow up. A more recent meta-analysis has found that although intensive monitoring resulted in earlier detection of recurrent disease by a median of 10 months, this did not confer any survival advantage over ‘less intensive’monitoring protocols (Mokhles et al., 2016). Evidence suggests that serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CT imaging are the two investigations that have significant potential to detect treatable metastatic recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer. Due to significant heterogeneity in these trials, this guideline is unable to recommend the optimal frequency and duration of follow up investigations. The FACS trial reported that in patients who had undergone curative surgery for primary colorectal cancer, intensive CT imaging (CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis every 6 months for 2 years, then annually for 3 years) or CEA screening (serum CEA every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years) each provided an improved rate of detected recurrence treatable with curative intent compared with minimal follow-up; there was no additional advantage in combining CEA and CT (Primrose et al., 2014).
