The CEAwatch multicenter randomized trial examined different frequencies of CEA serum testing after curative surgery for colorectal cancer, and if CEA rose twice consecutively, used this to trigger cross-sectional imaging. From 2010 to 2012, 3223 patients were included. More frequent CEA testing found recurrences sooner (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.08–1.95, p=0.013); this also led to higher rates of cura­tive treatment (OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.25–6.02, p=0.0145) [8]. However, there were no differences in overall survival or cancer specic survival with the intensive sur­veillance regimen (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.46–1.17; HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.48–1.28, respectively). The more intensive regimen tended to nd recurrences before they were symptomatic, and this was associated with better survival than when subjects developed symptoms from their recurrence (HR 0.39, 95% CI 0.25–0.63) [9]. Patients did not report adverse psychological effects associated with more intense follow up [10].
An updated Cochrane review published in 2019 collated data on surveillance strategies for non-metastatic colorectal cancer [11]. There were 19 studies with 13,216 subjects included, and meta-analysis was performed using data from 16 of the studies. As seen with the individual trial discussed above, there was no differ­ence in overall survival or colorectal cancer specic survival with intensive follow up regimen. Symptomatic recurrences were less frequent with intensive surveil­lance, and salvage surgery for recurrence was more frequent as well. When colonos­copy is part of surveillance, this can lead to more complications from bleeding or perforation. Intensive surveillance did not have a measurable effect on quality of life, anxiety, or depression. Cost may be increased with more intensive follow up [11]. Table12.2 summarizes the results of these trials and meta-analyses.
An updated Cochrane review examined the role of serum CEA levels in detecting colorectal cancer [12]. This review focused on the pooled sensitivity and sensitivity of different cutoff values for CEA for detecting colorectal cancer recurrence. They concluded that CEA was insufciently sensitive or specic to be used alone, even with low cutoff values, for surveillance. Additionally, 20% of recurrences showed no increase in CEA [12].

Recommendations Based onData
There are no compelling results to link any particular intensive surveillance regimen compared with minimal to less frequent surveillance to improved overall or cancer­specic survival. However, high quality studies have consistently shown that more intensive surveillance is correlated with earlier detection of recurrences, detection of recurrence while asymptomatic which associated with improved outcomes [13], and increased rates of both surgically treatable recurrences and successfully resected recurrences. (Evidence: moderate; recommendation: strong).
The trials and meta-analyses presented here used a variety of different blood tests, imaging modalities, and timing of surveillance, making it difcult to recom­mend an exact unied surveillance regimen. Additionally, colonoscopy is an impor­tant part of post-resection surveillance for colorectal cancer, but this modality was inconsistently included in the trials reviewed in this chapter. That being said, the value of colonoscopy is established for detection of luminal recurrence [14]. Finally, given the variety of ways colorectal cancer can recur, any modality in isolation is unlikely to be adequate for meaningful surveillance.
Personal View oftheData
The data examining the role of more intensive vs less intensive surveillance after curative resection for non-metastatic colorectal cancer is vexing. Despite the fact that numerous well-designed studies, as well as a multitude of case series and cohort studies, show that more frequent surveillance by whichever regimen is being stud­ied correlates with earlier detection of recurrence, detection before recurrence becomes symptomatic, and at a point when recurrences are more likely to be surgi­cally salvageable, this has not translated to improvements in overall survival or cancer specic mortality. How to make sense of this discrepancy?
One reason may be the evolving landscape of cancer treatments. While these tri­als were appropriately powered based on older rates of recurrence seen with colorec­tal cancer, there were decreases in recurrence with concurrent changes in adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy. As Popp etal. discuss in their analysis of the combined results of the GILDA, FACS, and COLOFOL trials, between lower than expected accrual rates to these studies as well as possibly decreased recurrence rates than were included in power calculations, these studies may not have been adequately powered to detect a small survival benet from curative surgery when recurrences happened [15]. As there is evidence to suggest that treatment of recurrences, whether with surgery or palliative chemotherapy, can provide benet, intensive surveillance regimens that allow detection of recurrences before they become symptomatic make it more likely that patients can receive these treatments [13]. The consistent signal in the trials and meta-analyses that more subjects were able to receive salvage sur­gery of recurrences is encouraging and a reason to continue close monitoring of colorectal cancer patients despite the lack of obvious survival benet. Additionally, better outcomes associated with asymptomatic detection of recurrences support the

practice of close monitoring in colorectal cancer patients after curative surgery [13, 16].
The most efcacious combination of surveillance tests is also not entirely settled. Colorectal cancer can follow several patterns of recurrence. There can be luminal, anastomotic recurrences. Local recurrences are also seen in surrounding lymphatic tissue and nodal basins. Common sites of distant metastases include lung or liver lesions. Additionally, while some tumors produce carcinoembryonic enzymes, ele­vations in this tumor marker are not universally seen. Because of these myriad pre­sentations, a panel of complementary surveillance tests are needed to monitor colorectal cancer patients. This is demonstrated by the various modalities included in the trials discussed here, and reect the ongoing attempts to nd the most accu­rate, most effective surveillance strategy. In particular, the move from chest radio­graphs and liver ultrasonography to CT imaging is seen in the trials reported here. Other imaging modalities are also being studied to see if there is any role in colorec­tal cancer surveillance, such as PET-CT.There is not currently data to support incor­poration of this into surveillance, but this may continue to evolve [17, 18]. Likewise, ongoing studies working to determine better use of serum CEA to maximize the sensitivity and specicity of this testing could prove benecial for improved surveil­lance [12, 19, 20].
Another area to potentially improve the granularity of surveillance could be to incorporate specic pathologic or histologic features into risk estimates for recur­rence. A number of groups have been correlating factors such as perineural inva­sion, number of lymph nodes retrieved, lymphovascular invasion, and novel classication of log odds of positive lymph nodes to clarify risk of recurrence and better tailor surveillance regimens [2124]. While large randomized trials are useful in providing an aggregate view of a population, some of the ner details can be obscured in the process. Likewise, the practice of combining colon and rectal can­cers in these studies may obscure divergence in outcomes, as the treatments for these malignancies are evolving differently.
Two of the three large trials discussed here included only stage II and III sub­jects. How to appropriately surveil stage I patients as well as resected stage IV patients are ongoing questions that are likely not appropriate for extrapolation from current trial data. Regarding stage I patients, while there is a low risk of recurrence, certainly pathologic markers may warrant closer surveillance [22, 25, 26]. Attempts are also being made to clarify surveillance protocols for resected stage IV patients as well, as there is little data to guide this management [27].
One important consideration is how the data on surveillance after resection for colorectal cancer is actually being used. Multiple studies surveying practitioners internationally show that there is hesitancy or difculty in arranging the degree of surveillance that is recommended by current guidelines [2831]. This could reect lack of buy-in by practitioners to high intensity surveillance, logistical difculties in arranging follow up for patients, lack of robust systems for tracking patients, or some combination of these and other elements. If controlled studies with high rates of retention and adherence to surveillance protocols could demonstrate only indirect improvements and benets, this degree of low engagement in “real world” settings

suggests that implementation of high intensity surveillance programs will have a hard time demonstrating noticeable benets.
As a nal point, while I do think there is benet in close and careful surveillance with complementary modalities in patients after surgery for colorectal cancer, there is certainly room for improvement of current recommended protocols. It will be interesting to see what changes might arise from improved incorporation of patho­logic data or more targeted use of different imaging modalities, as well as diverging treatment strategies for colon and rectal cancer. Another promising modality is cir­culating tumor cell technology; the role of this as part of surveillance regimens is still very much a work in progress, and it will be intriguing to see if this becomes incorporated in surveillance going forward.

Introduction
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been steadily increasing overtime, representing the fourth most common malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer related death worldwide [1]. With advances in early diagnosis and treatment strategies, CRC mortality has progressively decreased, with a reported 64% 5-year relative survival rate for all colon cancer stages combined in the US [2]. Elective colon resection remains the mainstay of treatment for locoregional disease, with low morbidity and mortality rates, particularly after the widespread adoption of minimally invasive techniques [3]. Despite the intensication of screening, large bowel obstruction (LBO) is still the initial presentation of up to 30% of colon can­cers [4]. Emergency surgery (ES) has traditionally represented the treatment of choice for these patients, with reported higher complication rates and worse onco­logic outcomes compared to elective operations [5, 6]. In an effort to avoid the morbidity associated with emergency surgery, the use of endoscopically placed self­expanding metal stents (SEMS) has been proposed and implemented over the last 3 decades for the restoration of intestinal ow in patients presenting with malignant LBO [7]. While initially proposed as denitive palliation for unresectable tumors or in patients unt for surgery, overtime SEMS have been commonly used as a bridge to surgery (BTS), with the aim of converting a surgical emergency into a condition amenable to a safer elective procedure [8]. Despite some concerns related to poten­tially worse oncologic outcomes in the event of an iatrogenic perforation during stent placement, this approach has gained popularity, as data regarding its safety and efcacy, particularly in avoiding the need for a stoma, has accumulated in the

literature [9, 10]. This chapter provides a critical review of the current literature on the topic, discussing advantages and disadvantages of the use of SEMS over emer­gency surgeries in the setting of malignant LBO, with some special considerations for right sided and rectal cancers as well as extracolonic malignancies (ECMs) (Table13.1).
Search Strategy
For the purposes of this chapter, a literature search was performed on the manage­ment of malignant SBO to identify all the English language publications on the Cochrane Database of Collected Research, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed from inception to 2021, with particular focus on those published after 2015. Key words used for the search included: “colon cancer”, “rectal cancer”, “obstruction”, “stent”, “stenting”, “surgery”, “emergency”, “stoma”, “colostomy”, “diversion”. Randomized controlled trials (RCT), systematic reviews and large retrospective studies were reviewed in details and ndings were summarized in table form in the results section (Table13.2). Small retrospective series were also assessed and refer­enced as appropriate.
