RODRIGUEZ FERNANDEZ, Zenén et al. Currently used knowledge about the recurrent colon cancer. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.6, pp. 797-814. ISSN 1029-3019.
Approximately up to a 30% of patients with colon cancer, surgically treated with healing aims, will have a recurrent disease, which can cause death or motivate new treatments with high morbidity degree, without achieving yet a definite and effective model on the behaviour to be followed, taking into account that there are no uniform approaches with regard to its prevention, treatment and postoperative follow-up after the initial surgery, so that the real possibilities of survival and the causes associated with mortality are ignored. On the basis of such conclusions, the pertinent literature was reviewed on some elementary questions in this respect
