Frailty Recovery Following Minimally Invasive Surgery: An Emerging Perspective on Surgical Benefits in Elderly Colorectal Cancer Patients

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This prospective study investigated the impact of MIS on frailty and outcomes in elderly CRC patients. While frail patients showed lower OS, MIS was safely performed. Among recurrence‐free patients, frailty status improved at 1 year, suggesting that curative surgery may offer not only oncologic benefits but also potential for frailty improvement ...
