Brief Summary

The treatment of rectal cancer is developing rapidly in the Netherlands, as well as internationally. This is accompanied by an increase in complexity of diagnosis and treatment, particularly when the tumor is located closer to the anorectal junction. Within these developments there is an important role for quality evaluation, where continuous feedback is able to improve care for rectal cancer in the Netherlands. By supplementing data from the Dutch ColoRectal Audit (DCRA) with additional data concerning diagnostics and treatment of rectal cancer patients operated in the year 2016, the Snapshot Rectumcarcinoom 2016 aimed to assess the improvement in surgical and oncological outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • How do different variables affect oncological and surgical outcomes?

    This study will evaluate development between 2011 and 2016 by comparing this cohort to the Snapshot 2011 study.

    2016-2020

  • The variation in treatment and awareness of lateral lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer.

    This study aims to assess the variation in treatment and the awareness of lateral lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer. To increase awareness and improve current practices, MRI reassessment after training of radiologists will take place. Moreover, delineation training will be given to radiation oncologists. After these improvements in current practice, evaluation of this training will take place.

    2016-2020

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Anastomotic leakage

    2016-2020

  • Permanent stoma rate

    2016-2020

  • Presence of presacral abscess

    2016-2020
