The incidence of colorectal cancer in Africa is increasing. True data on
clinical outcomes of the disease is hampered by follow up challenges Follow up of colorectal cancer patients is still challenging. The mortality
and recurrence rates are high for the short follow up periods. Further
studies are needed to explore the determinants of both survival
and recurrences, especially with longer follow ups.
