Challenges of Surveillance in Implementing Nonoperative Management for Rectal Cancer
In this cohort study of patients with rectal cancer undergoing surveillance after nonoperative management, most did not achieve NCCN-recommended guidelines, although outcomes were not associated with surveillance intensity. This highlights the need for prospective evaluation of a surveillance regimen that is both feasible for patients and health care systems increasingly using nonoperative management. In addition, studies are warranted to explore patient preferences in rectal cancer care and to identify barriers to optimal surveillance.
