ABSTRACT
Objective and Methods:
For evaluating recurrence factors in Stage II colon adenocarcinoma a clinical, non-experimental, longitudinal and retrospective study was done in the Department of Abdomen of INEN from January 1, 1990 to December 31,2000.Results:
In 200 eligible patients 20 (10%) recurrence cases were observed that appeared in an average 2.3 years after surgery. The main site of recurrence was local-regional (5.5%), pulmonary (2.5%), hepatic (1%), and peritoneal (1%). The following factors were considered age, sex, CEA level, type of operation (elective or emergency), site of the primary injury,invasion (T3 or T4), lymphatic vessel invasion, histologic differentiation, and synchronous carcinoma. We found that patients more than 70 years old (p=0.0305) have a lesser disease-free time. Be more than 70 years old was the only recurrencerelated factor; this group has 2.56 times more risk of recurrence. No other studied variable was related to recurrence.
