Colorectal Cancer in Elderly Patients with Surgical Indication: State of the Art, Current Management, Role of Frailty and Benefits of a Geriatric Liaison. IJERPH 2021;18:6072. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18116072.1660-460110.3390/ijerph18116072https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/6948Six out of every 10 new colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnoses are in people over 65 years of age. Current standardized surgical approaches have proved to be tolerable on the elderly population, although post-operative complications are more frequent than in the younger CRC population. Frailty is common in elderly CRC patients with surgical indication, and it appears to be also associated with an increase of post-operative complications. Fast-track pathways have been developed to assure and adequate post-operative recovery, but comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGA) are still rare among the preoperative evaluation of elderly CRC patients. This review provides a thorough study of the effects that a CGA assessment and a geriatric intervention have in the prognosis of CRC elderly patients with surgical indication.engAtribución 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18116072https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/11/6072/htmopen accessColorectal cancerElderlyFrailtyGeriatric syndromesComprehensive geriatric assessmentGeriatric liaisonMulticomponent programsFunctional capacityGeriatríaOncología3201.07 Geriatría3201.01 Oncología
