Intervention | All patients receive primary potentially curative surgery. Patients are randomised if a significant rise in serum CEA is detected to either: 1. Conventional Arm: Observation only. The patient is monitored until there is clinical evidence of recurrent disease. The clinician is not informed of the rise in serum CEA. 2. Aggressive Arm : The surgeon is informed of the rise in serum CEA, and in the absence of objective evidence either of a non-malignant cause for the CEA rise or of incurable distant metastases, second-look laparotomy is carried out to locate and remove treatable recurrence. |
