Abstract

The incidence of colorectal carcinoma increases rapidly in aged patients. We investigated retrospectively the differences in treatment relative to the patients' age.A total of 394 patients with colorectal carcinoma (group I: > or =80 years, n = 197; group II: 60-79 years, n = 197) were analyzed in an average period of 4 years in relation to surgery, comorbidities, postoperative morbidity, mortality, survival and recurrence.Patients > or =80 years had a significantly higher rate of comorbid conditions (p = 0.04; cardiovascular, p = 0.01; diabetes mellitus, p or =80 years is associated with the higher 30-day mortality. Even in patients aged > or =80 years, attention should focus on the long-term oncological results, after appropriate assessment of the preoperative risk.
