ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y retrospectivo de 68 pacientes con cáncer de colon recurrente, que acudieron a consulta de seguimiento por esta causa en el Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico Saturnino Lora de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero de 1990 hasta diciembre de 2005. Se obtuvo que esa neoplasia fue generalmente diagnosticada en etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad y que los 2 primeros años de seguimiento resultaron decisivos para el diagnóstico de la recurrencia, el cual suele establecerse de forma tardía, de manera que el tratamiento debe ser paliativo en la mayoría de los afectados.


A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of 68 patients with recurrent colon cancer who attended their follow-up visits due to this cause was carried out in the Saturnino Lora Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, from January, 1990 to December, 2005. It was obtained that this neoplasia was generally diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease and that the first 2 years of follow up were decisive for the diagnosis of the recurrence, which may usually be reached in a late stage, so that the treatment should be palliative in most of those affected.
