Factors associated with one-year mortality after curative surgery for primary clinical T4 and locally recurrent rectal cancer in elderly patients. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2024; 50:108259. [PMID: 38552415 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2024.108259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite advancements in colorectal cancer care, one-year post-operative mortality rates remain high for elderly patients who have undergone curative surgery for primary clinical T4 rectal cancer (cT4RC) or locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). This study aimed to identify factors associated with one-year mortality and to evaluate the causes of death. MATERIALS & METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients aged ≥70 years who underwent surgery with curative intent for cT4RC or LRRC between January 2013 and December 2020. Clinical and follow-up data were collected and analyzed to determine survival rates and investigate factors associated with mortality within one year after surgery. RESULTS A total of 183 patients (94 cT4RC, 89 LRRC) were included. One-year mortality rates were 16.0% for cT4RC and 28.1% for LRRC (P = 0.064). In cT4RC patients, factors associated with one-year mortality were preoperative anemia (OR 3.83, P = 0.032), total pelvic exenteration (TPE) (OR 7.18, P = 0.018), multivisceral resections (OR 5.73, P = 0.028), pulmonary complications (OR 13.31, P < 0.001) and Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III complications (OR 5.19, P = 0.025). In LRRC patients, factors associated with one-year mortality were TPE (OR 27.00, P = 0.008), the need for supported care after discharge (OR 3.93, P = 0.041) and Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III complications (OR 3.95, P = 0.006). The main causes of death in cT4RC and LRRC patients were failure to recover (cT4RC 26.6%, LRRC 28.0%) and disease recurrence (cT4RC 26.6%, LRRC 60.0%). CONCLUSION In order to tailor treatment in elderly with cT4RC and LRRC, factors associated with increased one-year mortality (e.g. pre-operative anemia, TPE) should be incorporated in the decision-making process. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Short-term outcomes after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in patients over 90 years old: a Japanese multicenter study. BMC Surg 2024; 24:2. [PMID: 38166905 PMCID: PMC10763673 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-023-02298-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of laparoscopic surgery on short-term outcomes in colorectal cancer patients over 90 years old has remained unclear. METHODS We reviewed 87 colorectal cancer patients aged over 90 years who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2022. Patients were divided into an open surgery group (n = 22) and a laparoscopic surgery group (n = 65). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of laparoscopic surgery on postoperative outcome in elderly colorectal cancer patients, as compared to open surgery. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients (89.7%) had comorbidities. Frequency of advanced T stage was lower with laparoscopic surgery (p = 0.021). Operation time was longer (open surgery 146 min vs. laparoscopic surgery 203 min; p = 0.002) and blood loss was less (105 mL vs. 20 mL, respectively; p < 0.001) with laparoscopic surgery. Length of hospitalization was longer with open surgery (22 days vs. 18 days, respectively; p = 0.007). Frequency of infectious complications was lower with laparoscopic surgery (18.5%) than with open surgery (45.5%; p = 0.021). Multivariate analysis revealed open surgery (p = 0.026; odds ratio, 3.535; 95% confidence interval, 1.159-10.781) as an independent predictor of postoperative infectious complications. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic colorectal resection for patients over 90 years old is a useful procedure that reduces postoperative infectious complications.

Abstract
Background Colorectal surgery in octogenarians is increasing in prevalence and good surgical outcomes have been demonstrated. However, functional status and independence remain the main patient consideration with limited data on the long-term functional outcomes. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted for all patients aged above 80 undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC) from January 2018 to December 2019. Functional status assessment was made as part of pre- and post-operative allied health clinic appointments. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scores were recorded. Loss of independence (LOI) was defined as the reduced capacity to perform pre-morbid activities of daily living (ADL) and requiring increased supports. Results Forty-one patients aged 80 years or older had elective CRC resections with a median follow-up of 15 months [interquartile range (IQR): 8-20]. The median American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score was 3 and 90.2% (37/41) of patients had an ECOG score of 0 or 1. There was no 30-day mortality and 2 (4.9%) deaths occurred within 1 year. The median Clavien-Dindo score was 1, and 2 patients (4.9%) required unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Twelve re-hospitalizations occurred with falls being the most common reason. LOI occurred in only 2 patients (4.9%) and on multivariate regression analysis, age and pre-morbid requirement of gait aids were predictive of LOI (P=0.042 and P=0.003, respectively). Gait aids were also associated with higher Clavien-Dindo scores (P=0.057) and increased length of stay (LOS) (P=0.009). Conclusions Patients with advanced age undergoing surgery for CRC surgery can still have good post-operative outcomes and adequate functional recovery with pre-operative optimization and appropriate post-operative supports.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synchronous multiple primary colorectal cancer (SMPCC) involves the simultaneous occurrence of 2 or more independent primary malignant tumors in the colon or rectum. Although SMPCC is rare, it results in a higher incidence of postoperative complications and mortality compared to patients with single primary colorectal cancer (SPCRC). METHODS The clinical factors and survival outcomes of SMPCC patients registered on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2000 and 2017 were extracted. The patients were divided into the training and validation cohorts using a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the independent risk factors for early death. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and the area under the curve (AUC) of a receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC). A decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomogram and standard TNM system. RESULTS A total of 4386 SMPCC patients were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to the training (n = 3070) and validation (n = 1316) cohorts. The multivariate logistic analysis identified age, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, T stage, N stage, and M stage as independent risk factors for all-cause and cancer-specific early death. The marital status was associated with all-cause early death, and the tumor grade was associated with cancer-specific early death. In the training cohort, the nomogram achieved a C-index of 0.808 (95% CI, 0.784-0.832) and 0.843 (95% CI, 0.816-0.870) for all-cause and cancer-specific early death, respectively. Following validation, the C-index was 0.797 (95% CI, 0.758-0.837) for all-cause early death and 0.832 (95% CI, 0.789-0.875) for cancer-specific early death. The ROC and calibration curves indicated that the model had good stability and reliability. The DCA showed that the nomogram had a better clinical net value than the TNM staging system. CONCLUSION Our nomogram can provide a simple and accurate tool for clinicians to predict the risk of early death in SMPCC patients undergoing surgery and could be used to optimize the treatment according to the patient's needs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colorectal cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Its incidence and mortality vary markedly at a global level. Assessing the epidemiological behavior of this condition allows reevaluating diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic options, based on new findings. In Colombia, few studies have correlated variables associated with surgical and oncological outcomes in this type of cancer. Then, the aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes and factors associated with postoperative complications of colorectal cancer in a Colombian Caribbean Population. METHODS Retrospective cross-sectional study, including patients with a histopathological diagnosis of colorectal cancer who underwent open or laparoscopic surgery, during a period of two years (2018-2020), from a regional referral hospital. Clinical history variables were collected. Frequencies and prevalence ratios were calculated. RESULTS A total of 84 patients were finally included. Adenocarcinoma of non-special type with advanced clinical stages was the most prevalent (72.6%). Rectal neoplasia (45.2%) was the most frequent anatomical subsite, followed by proximal colon (p = 0.026). The anatomical subsite of the neoplasm, intraoperative complication (PR 1.38; 95% CI, 1.21-1.59, p = 0.001) and intensive care stay (PR 1.062; 95% CI, 1.01-1.12, p = 0.048) were associated with postoperative outcome. CONCLUSIONS The anatomical subsite of the neoplasm location, the presence of intraoperative complications and the stay in intensive care may be associated with the surgical and oncological outcome of individuals with colon cancer from the Colombian Caribbean region.

Impacts of trans‐anal tube placement in patients with sigmoid colon cancer: Risk verification analysis using inverse probability weighting analysis. Ann Gastroenterol Surg 2022; 7:279-286. [PMID: 36998301 PMCID: PMC10043774 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 04/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious postoperative complication that affects short- and long-term outcomes. The use of a trans-anal drainage tube (TDT) is reported to prevent AL in rectal cancer patients, but its value in sigmoid colon cancer patients is unknown. Methods Admitted to the study were 379 patients who underwent surgery for sigmoid colon cancer between 2016 and 2020. Patients were divided into two groups according to the placement (n = 197) or nonplacement of a TDT (n = 182). To determine the factors affecting the association between TDT placement and AL, we estimated average treatment effects by stratifying each factor using the inverse probability of treatment weighting method. The association between prognosis and AL was evaluated in each identified factor. Results Factors associated with postsurgical insertion of a TDT were advanced age, male sex, high body mass index (BMI), poor performance status, and presence of comorbidities. TDT placement was associated with a significantly lower AL in male patients (odds ratio [OR], 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07-0.73; P = .013) and for BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (OR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.02-0.65; P = .013). In addition, there was a significant association of AL with poor prognosis in patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 (P = .043), age > 75 y (P = .021), and pathological node-positive disease (P = .015). Conclusion Sigmoid colon cancer patients with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 are the most appropriate candidates for postoperative TDT insertion, in terms of reduced incidence of AL and improved prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze short-term outcomes of curative-intent cancer surgery in all adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery from January 2010 to December 2019 and determine risk factors for postoperative complications and mortality. METHODS Retrospective study conducted at a single tertiary university institution. Patients were stratified by age into two groups: < 75 years and ≥ 75 years. Primary outcome was the influence of age on 30-day complications and mortality. Independent risk factors for postoperative adverse events or mortality were analyzed, and two novel nomograms were constructed. RESULTS Of the 1486 patients included, 580 were older (≥ 75 years). Older subjects presented more comorbidities and tumors were located mainly in right colon (45.7%). After matching, no between-group differences in surgical postoperative complications were observed. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.3% for the older and 0.8% for the non-older group (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, the independent risk factors for postoperative complications were peripheral vascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, severe liver disease, postoperative transfusion, and surgical approach. Independent risk factors for 30-day mortality were age ≥ 80 years, cerebrovascular disease, severe liver disease, and postoperative transfusion. The model was internally and externally validated, showing high accuracy. CONCLUSION Patients aged ≥ 75 years had similar postoperative complications but higher 30-day mortality than their younger counterparts. Patients with peripheral vascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, or severe liver disease should be informed of higher postoperative complications. But patients aged ≥ 80 suffering cerebrovascular disease, severe liver disease, or needing postoperative transfusion should be warned of significantly increased risk of postoperative mortality.

CANCER DIAGNOSIS & PROGNOSIS 2022; 2:360-368. [PMID: 35530652 PMCID: PMC9066536 DOI: 10.21873/cdp.10117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Estimation of physiological ability and surgical stress (E-PASS) is reported to be useful as a predictor of postoperative complications and poor long-term survival after colorectal cancer. The total risk points (TRP) system is a simplified scoring system of E-PASS, and this study evaluated the utility of TRP in colorectal cancer resection in older patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The clinicopathological data of 237 patients who underwent curative resection for colorectal cancer from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The data were compared between a high TRP group (≥1,000, n=38) and a low TRP group (<1,000, n=199). We also conducted an analysis to determine risk factors of postoperative complications and poor long-term survival. RESULTS TRP showed statistically significant correlations with the comprehensive risk score (CRS) of E-PASS (R=0.999, p<0.001). The high TRP group experienced postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥2) more frequently (42.1% vs. 11.1%, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that high TRP [odds ratio (OR)=5.214; 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=2.338-11.629; p<0.001] and age ≥80 (OR=2.760; 95%CI=1.308-5.826; p=0.008) were independent predictors of postoperative complications. Overall survival (OS) was poor in the high TRP group (5-year OS, 61.2% vs. 82.6%, p<0.001) compared with the low TRP group, and in the low prognostic nutritional index (<45) group (5-year OS, 70.9% vs. 86.3%, p=0.013) compared with the high prognostic nutritional index (≥45) group. Multivariate analysis showed that high TRP [hazard ratio (HR)=3.202; 95%CI=1.324-7,745; p=0.010] was an independent prognostic factor for poor OS. CONCLUSION Patients aged ≥80 years should be closely monitored regarding postoperative complications. Reducing TRP to less than 1,000 is important to reduce postoperative complications and improve OS.

Comparison of surgical and oncologic outcomes in very elderly patients (≥ 80 years old) and elderly (65-79 years old) colorectal cancer patients: a propensity score matching. BMC Gastroenterol 2022; 22:205. [PMID: 35468733 PMCID: PMC9036748 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-022-02277-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term outcomes and prognosis of elderly and very elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients after primary CRC surgery using propensity score matching (PSM). Methods This study retrospectively collected the medical records of CRC patients ≥ 65 years old undergoing primary CRC surgery from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020. Short-term outcomes, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared between very elderly CRC patients (≥ 80 years old) and elderly CRC patients (65–79 years old). Results A total of 2084 patients were enrolled for analysis. After PSM, 331 very elderly patients were matched to 331 elderly patients. In terms of short-term outcomes, the very elderly patients had longer postoperative hospital stays (p = 0.007) after PSM. In terms of OS, it was found that age (p < 0.01, HR = 1.878, 95% CI 1.488–2.371), tumor stage (p < 0.01, HR = 1.865, 95% CI 1.603–2.170), overall complications (p < 0.01, HR = 1.514, 95% CI 1.224–1.872) and major complications (p = 0.001, HR = 2.012, 95% CI 1.319–3.069) were independent prognostic factors. For DFS, age (p < 0.01, HR = 1.816, 95% CI 1.579–2.088), tumor stage (p < 0.01, HR = 1.816, 95% CI 1.579–2.088), overall complications (p = 0.002, HR = 1.379, 95% CI 1.128–1.685) and major complications (p = 0.002, HR = 1.902, 95% CI 1.259–2.874) were found to be independent prognostic factors. Moreover, elderly patients had a better OS and DFS than very elderly patients. Conclusion Very elderly patients had a poorer prognosis than elderly patients after primary CRC surgery. Surgeons should be cautious when treating very elderly CRC patients.

Abstract
Background The use of surgery in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) aged ≥90 years remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term postoperative and long-term oncologic outcomes of CRC surgery in patients within this age group. Methods A total of 151 consecutive nonagenarian patients who underwent CRC surgery were included from 3 different hospitals. The Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) was used to grade postoperative complications. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with CCI and overall survival (OS). Results The patients had a mean age of 92.8 years (standard deviation ±1.9 years). Forty-six patients (30.5%) underwent emergency surgery, and 105 patients (69.5%) underwent elective surgery. The postoperative complications rate was 66.2% (100/151), and the mean CCI was 26.3 (±30.8). Twenty-three patients (15.2%) died postoperatively, and the perioperative mortality rates for elective surgery and emergency surgery were 7.6% (8/105) and 32.6% (15/46), respectively (P<0.001). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 77.5%, 53.9%, and 38.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed emergency surgery and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score to be predictors of postoperative complications. Advanced tumor stage, palliative surgery, ASA score ≥4, and CCI >17 were associated with poor OS. Conclusions CRC surgery should not be denied to nonagenarian patients. Surgical treatment can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality, and achieves long-term survival in a select group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used in elderly patients over 80 years old. The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative and oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in elderly patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients aged ≥ 80 years who underwent curative resection of colorectal cancer at six Hallym University-affiliated hospitals. The perioperative outcomes and oncologic outcomes were compared between laparoscopic and open surgery RESULTS: Of 294 elderly patients, 104 (35.3%) underwent open surgery and 190 (64.7%) underwent laparoscopic surgery. The postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.019) and time to soft diet (P = 0.009) were shorter in the laparoscopic group than in the open group. Postoperative complications were less frequent in the laparoscopic group than in the open group (P < 0.001), including wound infection (P = 0.005), ileus (P = 0.005), and pneumonia (P = 0.001). The 3-year overall survival (OS) (P = 0.982) and recurrence-free survival rates (RFS) (P = 0.532) were similar in both groups. In multivariable analyses, positive lymph node status was the only independent factor associated with OS (P = 0.019) and RFS (P = 0.012). Laparoscopic surgery was not associated with OS (P = 0.874) and RFS (P = 0.772). CONCLUSION Laparoscopic surgery offers several perioperative advantages over open surgery and similar long-term oncological outcomes for elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Therefore, we suggest that laparoscopic surgery can be safely performed for the treatment of elderly patients (≥ 80 years old) with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
(1) Background: The aging of the population, the increase in the incidence of cancer with age, and effective chronic oncological treatments all lead to an increased prevalence of cancer in nursing homes. The aim of the present study was to map the cultural and ethical barriers associated with the treatment of cancer and educational strategies in this setting. (2) Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted until April 2021 in MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL. All articles assessing continuum of care, paramedical education, and continuing education in the context of older cancer patients in nursing homes were reviewed. (3) Results: A total of 666 articles were analyzed, of which 65 studies were included. Many factors interfering with the decision to investigate and treat, leading to late- or unstaged disease, palliative-oriented care instead of curative, and a higher risk of unjustified transfers to acute care settings, were identified. The educational strategies explored in this context were generally based on training programs. (4) Conclusions: These results will allow the co-construction of educational tools intended to develop knowledge and skills to improve diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making, the consistency of care, and, ultimately, the quality of life of older cancer patients in nursing homes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE With increased life expectancy, the incidence of colorectal cancer in oldest-old patients has been rising. Advanced age is a risk factor for adverse outcomes after surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of curative resection for colorectal cancer in nonagenarians. METHODS Patients who had undergone curative resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) at Stage I to III from January 2010 to December 2019 were included. Cases of emergent surgery were excluded. The clinical characteristics were documented retrospectively, and factors affecting the long-term outcome were analyzed using multivariate analysis. RESULTS Fifty patients met the selection criteria. Most of them were women (58.0%), and the median age was 92 years. Among these patients, 29 (58.0%) had a poor performance status (ASA-PS≥3). Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 42.0% of the patients, and 50% of the patients had postoperative complications classified as Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or severer, including 3 patients (6.0%) with grade 3 disease. No postoperative mortality occurred. The 30-day, 180-day, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 100%, 80.4%, 71.0%, 46.3%, and 33.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that a preoperative poor performance status (ASA-PS≥3) (HR: 3.067; 95% CI: 1.220-7.709; p = 0.017) was an independent prognostic factor for OS. CONCLUSION Curative elective resections for CRC in nonagenarians were performed safely without postoperative mortality. The preoperative performance status was significantly associated with OS after curative elective resection of colorectal cancer in nonagenarians. Our results suggest that excellent long-term outcomes can be achieved in a selected group with a good performance status.

Abstract
AIM The primary aim was to compare the 30-day morbidity and mortality in patients aged ≥80 years undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer with those aged <80 years. The secondary aim was to identify independent outcome predictors. METHOD This was a retrospective study of patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer between January 2007 and February 2018. Patients were divided into those <80 years and those ≥80 years at the time of surgery. Data had been collected prospectively by the Australasian Binational Colorectal Cancer Audit and included patient demographics, site and stage of tumour, comorbidity, operative details, American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA), pathological staging, 30-day mortality and morbidity (medical and surgical). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify predictors of 30-day morbidity and mortality. RESULTS During the study period, 4600 out of 20 463 (22.5%) patients were ≥80 years. They had a greater 30-day mortality after both colonic (97/2975 [3.3%] vs. 66/7010 [0.9%], P < 0.001) and rectal resections (50/1625 [3.1%] vs. 36/9006 [0.4%], P < 0.001) compared with younger patients. They also had an increased length of stay (colon cancer, 9 vs. 7 days; rectal cancer, 10 vs. 8 days; P < 0.001) and medical complications (colon cancer, 23.5% vs. 12.7%; rectal cancer, 25.2% vs. 11.2%; P < 0.001). Surgical complications were equivalent. Age ≥80 years was not an independent predictor of 30-day morbidity or mortality. Patients ≥80 years who were ASA 2/3 and had rectal cancer seemed to fare worse in terms of 30-day mortality (ASA 2, 22%, 95% CI 9%-36%, P < 0.001; ASA 3, 11%, 95% CI 4%-19%, P< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative morbidity and mortality are significantly greater in patients ≥80 years undergoing colorectal cancer surgery. Any recommendation for surgery in this age group should take into account patient comorbidity and not be based on age alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study is aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for nonagenarian patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS This retrospective single-center study included patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at the age of ≥90 years between 2004 and 2018. Patient demographics were compared between the operation and nonoperation groups (NOG). Perioperative outcomes, histopathological outcomes, and postoperative complications were evaluated. Overall survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods and log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 31 patients were included (16 men and 15 women), and the median age was 91 (range: 90-96) years. The number of patients who underwent surgery and who received nonoperative management was 20 and 11, respectively. No statistical differences in baseline demographics were observed between both groups. None of these patients were treated with perioperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Surgery comprised 18 (90.0%) colectomies and 2 (10.0%) transanal excisions. Short-term (≤30 days) and long-term (31-90 days) postoperative complications occurred in 7 (35.0%) and 4 (20.0%) patients, respectively. No complications needed reoperation, such as anastomosis leakage or bleeding. No postoperative mortality occurred within 30 days: 90-day postoperative mortality occurred in two patients (10.0%), respectively. The median overall survival of the operation group was 31.6 (95% confidence interval: 26.7-36.5) and that of NOG was 12.5 months (95% CI: 2.4-22.6) (P = 0.012). CONCLUSION Surgical treatment can be considered in carefully selected nonagenarian patients with colorectal cancer in terms of acceptable postoperative morbidity, with better overall survival than the nonsurgical treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this work was to analyse the postoperative clinical results of patients surgically treated for colorectal cancer in relation to the results of the preoperative comprehensive geriatric evaluation. METHODS Observational study in which postoperative morbidity and mortality at 30 and 90 days were analysed in a cohort of patients surgically treated for colorectal cancer according to age groups: group 1) between 75 and 79 years old; group 2) between 80 and 84 years old, and group 3) ≥85 years old. In addition to the anaesthetic risk assessment, patients were assessed with the Karnofsky, Barthel and Pfeiffer indexes. Mortality at 30 and 90 days after surgery was analysed in relation to the results of the comprehensive evaluation. RESULTS A total of 227 patients with colorectal cancer were included in the study period: 91 in group 1, 89 in group 2 and 47 in group 3. There were statistically significant differences in mortality at 30 days (p=0,029) but not at 90 days after surgery, according to age groups. Mortality at 90 days was significantly higher in patients with worse scores on the Karnofsky and Barthel scales. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive geriatric assessment using different scales is a good tool to assess postoperative mortality in the mid-term postoperative period.
