Özet

Background: Aging is significantly related to multiple comorbidities. Even with a good performance score, some elderly patients may have poor survival outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) for mortality and toxicity in elderly patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
