ACPGBI: Guidelines for the Management of Colorectal Cancer
Staging investigation for potentially curable colorectal cancer
•Complete visualisation of colon required either pre- or post-operatively.
•If complete colonic imaging is not possible before surgery, it is important this is done within six months, or as soon as possible after closure of a temporary ileostomy.

ACPGBI Guidelines
Colonoscopic follow-up
• If such a policy is pursued, it is recommended that a “clean” colon should be examined by colonoscopy at 5 yearly intervals.
•Patients should be counselled about the potential complications of colonoscopy.

• Patients who did not have a complete colonoscopy pre-op should be offered colonoscopy within 6 months of discharge.
•MDTs in each network should agree follow up guidelines.
• 5 yearly intervals for patients with a ‘clean’ colon.

NICE guidelines (2011)
•Offer a surveillance colonoscopy at 1 year after initial treatment. If this is normal consider colonoscopy at 5 years.
•Two Systematic reviews - potential benefit in identifying recurrence of disease at an earlier stage - Low-moderate evidence base.

Patients undergoing curative resection.
• Complete colonoscopy pre-operatively or within 6 months of discharge
• Surveillance colonoscopy at 1 year

AimsTo assess compliance with local guidelines in patients undergoing curative colorectal cancer resection:•Complete colonoscopy pre-op or within 6 months
•Follow up colonoscopy at one year
• Incidence of synchronous / metachronous lesions
•Record interventions resulting from colonoscopy
![Page 8: Should colonoscopy be performed one year out from colorectal cancer resection?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032805/5681332f550346895d9a2e42/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Colorectal cancer resections 2008-2012 PJH/AFH (total=347)
• Sub-set selected commencing 2008
• Retrospective electronic chart review
• Endoscopy database
• Endoscopic outcomes recorded

Timing of ‘1 year’ colonoscopy
Range 6-30 months post-op
![Page 16: Should colonoscopy be performed one year out from colorectal cancer resection?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032805/5681332f550346895d9a2e42/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Incidence of metachronous lesions at ‘1 year’ scope
(n=60)
•Normal 35
•Polyps 24
•1 patient had a TEMS procedure, local reoccurrence at 17 months on colonoscopy - anterior resection
![Page 17: Should colonoscopy be performed one year out from colorectal cancer resection?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032805/5681332f550346895d9a2e42/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Interventions and complications
resulting from colonoscopy
•24 patients cleared of polyps
•1 vasovagal episode - delayed discharge

Surveillance Polyps (24 patients)
![Page 19: Should colonoscopy be performed one year out from colorectal cancer resection?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032805/5681332f550346895d9a2e42/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusion
•Failure to establish clean colon within 6 months
•1 year colonoscopy performed in 68% range 6 - 30 months
•Significant incidence of lesions leading to interventions in 24
•Low complication rate from colonoscopy

DiscussionShould colonoscopy be performed one year out from colorectal cancer resection?
Benefits
• Ensures clean colon in patients missed by pre-op/ 6month colonoscopy.
• Acknowledged aversion to removing polyps by surgeons when suspected cancer discovered
Drawbacks
• Cost• Invasive Procedure
Limitations Small study size Missing data
