Understanding Colon Recurrence Score® reports

There are 2 reports tailored to the patient’s anatomic stage: stage II MMR-P or stage III A/B.

Anatomic stage II MMR-P report

The anatomic stage II MMR-P report consists of 2 pages that include the following information:

  • Page 1 summarizes the risk of recurrence following surgery alone. You’ll see the Recurrence Score® result, along with the associated recurrence risk estimate following surgery for MMR-P patients by T stage. For patients whose Recurrence Score result is ≥41, shading in the graph indicates a higher risk
  • Page 2 shows the risk of recurrence following chemotherapy. You’ll see the patient’s Recurrence Score result, now with the associated recurrence risk estimate following 5-FU/LV alone or in combination with oxaliplatin. For patients whose Recurrence Score result is ≥41, shading in the graph indicates a higher risk

Anatomic stage III A/B report

The anatomic stage III A/B report shows risk of recurrence following chemotherapy.

  • You’ll see the patient’s Recurrence Score result with the associated recurrence risk estimate following 5-FU/LV alone or in combination with oxaliplatin
  • For patients whose Recurrence Score result is <30, shading indicates the patient is at lower risk and may be considered for 5FU/LV alone to avoid the toxicities of oxaliplatin
