Advantage of Laparoscopy Surgery for Elderly Colorectal Cancer Patients without Compromising Oncologic Outcome

Abstract: Backgrounds: Laparoscopic surgery has achieved good results in elderly patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we compared the short-term and long-term outcomes of open surgery and laparoscopic surgery in CRC patients aged above 75 years at a single tertiary medical center.Methods: Between January 2009 and December 2015, we studied 967 patients who underwent curative resection for primary colorectal adenocarcinoma without distant metastasis in a single institution. Of the enrolled subjects, 305 u… Show more

“…In this study of middle-aged patients with CRC, there were no differences in OS and DFS in all patients after matching with age, gender, BMI, tumor location, AJCC stage, and admission year. LR has become an accepted therapeutic option for CRC patients, providing similar OS and DFS compared with OR in stages I-III disease (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29), supporting the present results. Previous studies in patients with CRC (irrespective of age, but most studies included older patients) showed that LR was at least comparable to OR, as shown by two meta-analyses (7,30), supporting the present study.…”
