However, considering the possible toxicity and complications of radiochemotherapy, nCRT is seldom used for the elderly. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and long-term effect of nCRT combined with TME in elderly patients with LARC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four-hundred-fourteen LARC patients were divided into 2 groups: 108 patients were in the elderly group (\u2265 65 years old) and 306 patients were in the non-elderly group (&lt;65 years old). The side effects, toxicity, complications, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) of all of the patients were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The data comprised 103 patients in the elderly group and 292 patients in the non-elderly group who completed nCRT sessions following operation. The treatment-completion rates of the elderly and non-elderly groups were 95.37% and 95.42%, respectively. Twenty-two patients developed radiotherapy complications (grade III) in the elderly group and 37 such cases developed in the non-elderly group. Diarrhea, skinulcer, and perianal pain were ranked as the top 3 most common complications. The incidence of infection, anastomotic leakage, and intestinal obstruction was 0.97% in the elderly group. The 5-year DFS and 5-year OS rate were 70.7% and 80.8% in the elderly group, 67.3% and 81.6% in the non-elderly group respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>nCRT are safe and effective for elderly patients, and it does not increase the risk of postoperative complications for the elderly.
