title: [Prognostic Factors in Elderly Patients with Stage II/III Colorectal Carcinomas with Invasion of pT3 or Deeper].
abstract: Three hundred and fourteen patients with pT3 or deeper, Stage II/IIIcolorectal carcinoma who underwent curative operation were divided into two groups: age 75 years and more(elderly)and 74 years and less(non-elderly), to identify prognostic factors and risk factors for postoperative complications. Higher comorbidity rates and poorer nutritional status where found in the elderly group, which led to a shorter operation time and less lymph node dissection. There were no significant differences in 5-year OS and 3-year RFS between the two groups. These results suggest that elderly patients with colorectal carcinoma can achieve outcomes equal to the non-elderly group by curative resection even if it is not standard radical resection.
