Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Absence of tumor cells in surgical specimen after treatment. Timepoint: After definitive surgery. Single measurement immediately post surgery. Method of measurement: Examine surgical specimen by pathologist. Categorize as present? absent.;Based on type of surgery (APR vs LAR) and sphincter function. Variable type: categorical (preserved/not preserved). Role: dependent. Timepoint: At the time of surgery: single assessment. Method of measurement: Record type of surgery (APR or LAR) categorize as preserved? not preserved.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Overall Survival (OS). Timepoint: From diagnosis to last follow up or death. Follow up: up to 5 years post treatment. Method of measurement: Record diagnosis date and date of death or last follow up. Calculate time interval in months.;Disease-Free Survival (DFS). Timepoint: From diagnosis to recurrence, metastasis, or death. Follow up: up to 5 years post treatment. Method of measurement: Record diagnosis date and date of recurrence, metastasis, or death. Calculate time interval in months.;Local Recurrence and Distant Metastasis. Timepoint: Annual CT scans and colonoscopy every 5 years. Tumor markers: every 3 months in first 2 years, every 6 months in years 3–5, then annually. Method of measurement: Assess via CT scans and colonoscopy. Categorize as present? absent.
