This study was conducted to evaluate how cancer recurrence was initially suspected/diagnosed for all colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from the National University Hospital, Singapore over a 5-year period, with the aim of exploring the role of community-based CRC surveillance. All patients were followed up in the outpatient clinics in accordance to protocols adapted from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines over 5 years. Apart from history taking and appropriate physical examination, the surgeons or medical oncologists will go through the results of the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels, radiological and endoscopic investigations with the patients. Only two (2.47%) patients had asymptomatic recurrence diagnosed on physical examination, one of them at 7 years from the index operation. Increased primary health care use in the first year after colorectal cancer diagnosis.	./cache/cord-329582-y4gyw8vz.txt	./txt/cord-329582-y4gyw8vz.txt
