Cause of death the first year after curative colorectal cancer surgery; a prolonged impact of the surgery in elderly colorectal cancer patients

Treatment-Related Mortality After Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC in Patients with Colorectal Peritoneal Carcinomatosis is Underestimated by Conventional Parameters

“…5,16 Extensive bowel surgery seems to have a prolonged impact on treatment-related mortality, particularly in elderly patients. [17][18][19] Similar findings have been found in other major oncological procedures such as esophagectomy and hepatectomy. 20,21 The 1-year mortality rate in the present study was 13.9 %.…”

Postoperative complications in individuals aged 70 and over undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer

“…examining the postoperative mortality risk in patients over 70 undergoing elective colorectal resection reports mortality rates from 0% to 13.3%, and the majority of the included studies reported higher mortality rates than our study . Mortality at 1 year is comparable to other studies . In our study mortality rates were not significantly affected by the occurrence of CD ≥ 2 POCs; CD ≥ 3 POCs were associated with an increased 1‐year mortality.…”

Short‐term effect of preoperative intravenous iron therapy in colorectal cancer patients with anemia: results of a cohort study

“…30,31 The use of such various modalities could be valuable in preoperative prehabilitation, specifically in elderly patients (>75 years), in which an increased 1-year mortality of up to 25% is observed. 32,33 In line with the previous limitation, in this study, various multimodal programs may similarly introduce confounding of our results that are not easily corrected for. A randomized trial could correct for both continuing pre-as well as postoperative care optimization.…”

“…However, investigation and treatment of merely Hb levels appears to be a suboptimal way to indicate overall performance and therefore, at present, various multimodal programs are being introduced . The use of such various modalities could be valuable in preoperative prehabilitation, specifically in elderly patients (>75 years), in which an increased 1‐year mortality of up to 25% is observed . In line with the previous limitation, in this study, various multimodal programs may similarly introduce confounding of our results that are not easily corrected for.…”
