Supports preoperative CGA and predictive scales in older colorectal cancer patients; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
The percentage of older adults with colorectal cancer has been increased. It is a worldwide trend. We proved a necessity of using special predictive scales Charlson, CR-POSSUM, ACPGBI and use of Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) as a part of preoperation eximination among older adults. This approach is improved outcomes of surgical treatment and increased the number of patients undergoing radical cancer therapy.

Kochanov et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Colorectal cancer. Predictive scales (Charlson, CR-POSSUM, ACPGBI) and Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) was evaluated on Outcomes of surgical treatment and number of patients undergoing radical cancer therapy. The use of predictive scales and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment improved surgical outcomes and increased the number of older patients undergoing radical colorectal cancer therapy.
