Au S, et al. - Researchers sought to describe the morbidity and mortality of nonagenarians who had operative and non-operative management for colorectal cancer. They conducted a retrospective study of consecutive colorectal cancer patients from 2010 to 2016 in a district general hospital in Scotland who were 90 years old or above. For carefully selected nonagenarian patients with colorectal cancer, elective operative management was noted to be generally acceptable in terms of morbidity and mortality. Operatively managed patients in majority returned to the same functional level of care following discharge. Poorer prognosis was observed for patients with metastases at the outset and those requiring emergency surgery.
