Abstract
To analyze surgical (including minimally invasive) treatment of advanced age patients with colon cancer and severe comorbidities. Advanced age patients with colon cancer (≥60 years) were compared with younger ones. Concomitant diseases were detected in 94,4% of older patients and in 45,9% of patients in the control group (χ2=51,747; p<0,001). Surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital-stay, postoperative morbidity and mortality were similar. Severe comorbidities did not significantly affect surgical outcomes in these patients and did not increase postoperative morbidity and mortality.
