To investigate the surgical treatment for recurrent colon cancer after radical resection.
Clinical data of 87 cases with recurrence colon cancer after radical resection from Jan. 1999 to Dec. 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.
The resection rate of recurrent colon cancer was 74.7% . 55.2% (48/87) of the cases received radical resection,and the median survival was 49 months,while 19.5% (17/87) received palliative resection with a median survival of 24 months, 25.3% (22/87) only exploration or by- pass operation with a median survival of 10 months. There were significant differences in survival among the different surgical treatments (P=0.003).
The resection rate of recurrent colon cancer is high,and reoperation can prolong the survival of such patients.
