PURPOSE: Anastomotic recurrences (AR) occur in 2-10% of colorectal carcinoma cases after resection of primary tumor (PT). Currently, there are no molecular data investigating their genetic profile and multiple theories exist about their pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to compare the genomic profile of AR to that of the patients' corresponding matched PT and, when available, to a distant metastasis (DM)....
