Core Tip	Preoperative assessment using the modified frailty index and systemic immune-inflammation index provides valuable predictive ability for evaluating surgical risk and prognosis in older patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection. Incorporating these indices into clinical practice can help healthcare providers stratify older patients with colorectal cancer based on surgical risk, allowing targeted perioperative management to improve recovery and survival rates.
