Abstract

Perioperative treatment of patients with colorectal cancer according to the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol has proven to reduce complications and duration of stay. However, strict adherence remains a challenge and the benefits may decrease with lower adherence. In this study, we report on 8 years of adherence to the ERAS protocol and its effect on postoperative outcome in patients with colon cancer. In 2006, the ERAS protocol was introduced for treatment of colon cancer patients in the Medical Center Alkmaar, a large teaching hospital. Patients scheduled for elective colon cancer resection were included in this study. Adherence to ERAS items was monitored and along with clinical data prospectively gathered in a database. In 2011, several measures to improve adherence were implemented. In total, 816 patients were included. Mean adherence rate was 73% in 2006 and 2007, 66% in 2008 and 2009, 63% in 2010 and 2011, and 82% in 2012 and 2013. There was a shorter duration of stay in the years with high adherence (5.7 days) compared with the years with low adherence (7.3 days; P < .001). The ERAS items that were the strongest predictors for a shorter duration of stay were no nasogastric tube, early mobilization, early o...Continue Reading

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
