Treatment/Management
Surgical treatment of primary tumor (colectomy with en bloc removal of all associated regional lymph nodes and involved adjacent structures)
Identification and biopsy of clinically positive lymph nodes located outside the standard field of resection
Laparoscopic approach versus open colectomy
Prophylactic oncological resection of extraintestinal organs (routine oophorectomy not recommended)
Individualized management of patients with resectable stage IV colon cancer based on comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation
Use of systemic palliative chemotherapy for patients with unresectable metastatic disease
Management of tumor-related complications (bleeding, perforation, and obstruction)
Multidisciplinary management of patients with locoregionally recurrent colon cancer (curative resection according to principles of primary resection)
Multidisciplinary and individualized management of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis including surgical cytoreduction
Palliative surgical interventions
Surgical documentation (information regarding the diagnostic workup, intraoperative findings, and technical details of the procedure)
Adjuvant chemotherapy (first-line adjuvant chemotherapy regimen including a fluoropyrimidine [5-fluorouracil/leucovorin or capecitabine] and oxaliplatin)
