Abstract

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. It is also a disease that is preventable if precursor adenomatous polys are removed. Once a diagnosis of colorectal cancer is made, surgical resection is the only means of cure. The ability to resect colorectal cancer for cure is largely dependent upon the stage of tumor at presentation. Once a patient has been treated for colorectal cancer with surgery and in some cases neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy, they will present for follow-up. Surveillance is performed on these patients in order to detect local recurrence that if detected early can be surgically resected for cure. Surveillance also allows detection of distant metastatic disease that may in some cases also be cured with resection. Finally, surveillance of the remaining colon is important to detect the development of new or metachronous adenomatoid polyps that if left in place could develop into new colon cancers. Imaging can play a part in patient surveillance to detect recurrent disease at extracolonic sites as well as the development of new colonic lesions. CT colonography is a promising tool for surveillance in patients with a history of colorectal cancer.
