A retrospective review of the medical records of 533 patients undergoing resection with curative intent of large bowel above the peritoneal reflection was undertaken to identify subsets of patients at high risk for local failure. The overall local failure rate was 102/533 (19%) with 32/102 patients having local failure only and 70/102 patients having concurrent local failure and distant metastases. Pathological confirmation of local failure was obtained in 79% of the cases and by surgical exploration in 75%. Overall local failure rates increased with advancing stage of disease. Tumors staged B3, C2 and C3 all had local failure rates in excess of 30%, whereas for Stage A, B1, B2 and C1 lesions, the incidence of local failure was less than 4%. Stage B2 tumors arising in high and low sigmoid and splenic and hepatic flexure had a moderate incidence of local failure (21%) compared to low incidence (5%) at all other sites. The majority of local and regional failures 84/102 (82%) occurred in tumor bed and adjacent soft tissues whereas only 18/102 (18%) local failures occurred in regional nodal groups. The overall local failure rate increased from 27% with one lymph node involved to 50% with greater than 5 lymph nodes involved. Patients with Stage B3, C2 and C3 colon tumors at all sites and selected B2 tumors have a high rate of local failure after surgical resection. The value of postoperative radiotherapy should be formally studied in these patients.
