Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of radical surgery and explore prognostic factors affecting cancer-specific survival (CSS) in elderly patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:From Jan 2010 to Dec 2020, a total of 372 elderly (aged over 80 years) CRC patients who underwent curative resection at the National Cancer Center were enrolled. Preoperative clinical features, perioperative outcomes and postoperative pathological characteristics were collected.Results:In the multivariable COX regression analysis, BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 ( HR:2.30, 95% CI: 1.27-4.17, P=0.006) and N1-N2 stage ( HR: 2.97,95% CI:1.48-5.97, P=0.002) correlated with worse CCS. Conclusions:The results of this study demonstrated that radical resection for CRC is safe and feasible for patients over 80 years of age. BMI and N stage were independent prognostic factors for elderly CRC patients after radical resection.

The treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is extremely challenging, and it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with surgical resection alone. In recent years, the diagnosis and treatment of LARC tends to be multi-disciplinary (MDT) mode. The emerging neoadjuvant treatment strategy is a milestone. At present, the preferred treatment for LARC is neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with total mesorectal excision. This article summarizes the main treatments of LARC neoadjuvant therapy, hoping to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the differences in the clinical efficacy on post-stroke speech disorder between scalp electric acupuncture (EA) under anatomic orientation combined with rehabilitation training and simple rehabilitation training.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixty patients of post-stroke speech apraxia were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. In the observation group, under anatomic orientation, the scalp EA was adopted to the dominant hemisphere Broca area on the left cerebrum. Additionally, the speech rehabilitation training was combined. In the control group, the speech rehabilitation training was simply,used. The treatment lasted for 4 weeks totally. The speech movement program module in the psychological language assessment and treatment system of Chinese aphasia was used for the evident of efficacy assessment. The scores of counting, singing scale, repeating phonetic alphabet, repeating monosyllable and repeating disyllable were observed in the patients of the two groups. The assessment was done separately on the day of grouping and 4 weeks after treatment.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 4 weeks of treatment, the scores of counting, singing scale, repeating phonetic alphabet, repeating monosyllable and repeating disyllable were all improved as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P<0. 001). The results in the observation group were better than those in the control group (all P< 0. 05). The total effective rate was 100. 0% (30/30) in the observation group, superior apparently to 53. 3% (16/30) in the control group (P<0. 001).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The scalp EA under anatomic orientation combined with' speech rehabilitation training obviously improves speech apraxia in stroke patients so that the speech disorder cani be relieved. The efficacy is better than that in simple rehabilitation training.</p>
