title: [The surgical treatment and prognosis for recurrent colon cancer].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the surgical treatment and prognosis for recurrent colon cancer after curative resection.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data of 102 recurrent colon cancer cases from January 1997 to December 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Obtained data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Release 11.5, SPSS, Inc). The related factors were underwent chi2 analysis,survival analysis were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the Log-rank test. COX regression was used in multivariate analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Univariate analysis revealed that obstruction of primary tumors, CEA level before reoperation, number of recurrence, time of recurrence, and reoperation type were significant statistically. COX regression analysis revealed that number of recurrence, reoperation type was the most important prognostic factor.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The recurrent colon cancer still need active surgical treatment in order to prolong the survival time.
