Description
Xiuping Weng and co-authors grade two marks for death odds in bowel cancer past age eighty, in a study from 2026. Old souls face the ill with frail flesh, and stock marks may grade them in a new way. Two marks drew the eye: lymph-vessel spread in the growth, and a blood mark, CEA, ere the cut.
The pool held 214 souls past eighty and 214 matched younger ones. The old bore more of both marks and a worse five-year rate: near half lived past five years, next to near seven in ten young ones. Each mark near doubled death odds on its own, more so for right-side growths. Pair reads, the team says, can flag the old who need tight tracks post-cut.
