isolated incisional scar tissue recurrences after curative excisions for large-bowel cancer

Eleven patients with such a recurrence all died of disseminated disease within four years, and most within 12 months, of its development. This suggests that an incisional recurrence is a manifestation of disseminated cancer rather than isolated implantation.
