Frailty Recovery Following Minimally Invasive Surgery: An Emerging Perspective on Surgical Benefits in Elderly Colorectal Cancer Patients

Nevertheless, in patients who remained recurrence-free, frailty status significantly improved 1 year after surgery, suggesting an emerging potential benefit of surgical resection in the elderly population.
