METHODS: The critical role of radiology in the evaluation of a primary colon cancer and in diagnosis and assessment of recurrent colon cancer is evaluated.

RESULTS: For primary colon cancer the radiologist should forewarn the multidisciplinary team of patients whose malignancy is at high risk for peritoneal metastases and for local recurrence. In recurrent colon cancer a quantitative assessment of the concerning radiologic features are of help to select patients for reoperation.
