Does age affect oesophagectomy survival: a cohort study.
Jin-Soo ParkHans Van der WallCatherine W KennedyGregory L FalkPublished in: ANZ journal of surgery (2020)
Overall survival, disease-free survival and 30-day mortality rates in patients aged 75 years and older were not statistically different to their younger counterparts. On the basis of these results, older patients should not be precluded from consideration of potentially curative oesophagectomy on age alone, providing surgery may be performed at reasonable risk.
