Abstract

Endoscopic follow-up is advised in patients operated for colorectal cancer due to a high risk for both metachronous colorectal cancer and adenomas. Such issue has been scarcely addressed in Italy. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of neoplastic lesions at a scheduled endoscopic follow-up and to identify the patients at higher risk of recurrence.
