Follow up after colorectal cancer surgery consists of regular follow ups for physical checks and colonoscopy and imaging studies at regular intervals.

At each follow up, your doctor will do a physical examination and also take your blood for a CEA test. A rising trend in CEA may imply a recurrence.

Follow up CT scans and colonoscopies are also recommended based on your stage of disease.
