RESUMEN
Aproximadamente hasta 30 % de todos los pacientes con cáncer de colon, intervenidos con intención curativa, presentarán enfermedad recurrente, la cual puede provocar la muerte o motivar nuevos tratamientos con alto grado de morbilidad, sin que se haya logrado definir un modelo efectivo sobre la conducta a seguir, habida cuenta que aún no existen criterios uniformes con respecto a su prevención, tratamiento y seguimiento posoperatorio luego de la cirugía inicial, por cuanto se desconocen las posibilidades reales de supervivencia y las causas asociadas a la mortalidad. Sobre la base de tales reflexiones, se revisó la bibliografía pertinente sobre algunas cuestiones elementales al respect.
ABSTRACT
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.
