    Abstract:
    Results of a computer supported follow-up-program on patients with colorectal cancer are presented. Between 1978 and 1985 1024 patients underwent these program, the drop-out-rate was 18%. 231 recurrences in 137 patients were discovered (40% local recurrence, 30% liver metastases and 30% others). 54% of patients with local recurrence and 43% with liver metastases were free of symptoms. Radical surgery was performed in 47% of local recurrences and in 24% of liver metastases. The three year survival rate after radical surgery for recurrence amounted to 28% for local recurrences and to 31% for liver metastases.
