Laparoscopic versus open surgery for elderly patients with colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of matched studies

Weimin Luo et al.

Summary: The study suggests that laparoscopic surgery may be more beneficial than open surgery for elderly colorectal cancer patients, with lower mortality risk and similar long-term survival outcomes. Laparoscopic surgery is associated with longer operative time, lower blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and faster return of bowel movements. The risk of complications is also lower with laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery.

Estimated global cancer incidence in the oldest adults in 2018 and projections to 2050

Sophie Pilleron et al.

Summary: This study utilized GLOBOCAN estimates to describe the cancer incidence among adults aged 80 years or older globally and regionally in 2018, projecting the trends to 2050. The most common cancer sites for this age group globally were breast, lung, and colon for females, and prostate, lung, and colon for males. It is estimated that by 2050, there will be a significant increase in new cancer cases among adults aged 80 years or older worldwide, posing challenges to healthcare systems and emphasizing the need for tailored cancer control policies for the elderly population.

Cancer Incidence and Mortality in the Oldest Old: A Nationwide Study in Finland

Tomas Tanskanen et al.

Summary: The increasing cancer burden in the oldest old poses a major challenge for health care in Finland, with nearly 1 in 10 cancers diagnosed in individuals aged 85 and above. Excess cancer mortality can be proposed as a measure of cancer-related mortality in older populations with competing risks of death.

Niclas Dohrn et al.

Summary: This nationwide database study compared robotic right colectomy with laparoscopic right colectomy in Denmark. The robotic approach resulted in a higher lymph node yield and similar postoperative morbidity compared to the laparoscopic approach for right colectomy.

Perspectives and limits of cancer treatment in an oldest old population

Beatrice Di Capua et al.

Summary: This study investigated the characteristics of a population of oldest old patients with cancer treated in the Radiation Oncology Unit, finding that patients under treatment often had high comorbidity indexes and were on multiple medications, with over half of them receiving radical treatment. Treatment decisions seemed to prioritize performance status over comorbidities.
