Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyStratified Survival Analysis After Adjuvant Chemotherapy of Colon Cancer Reveals a Benefit for Older Patients.
Adjuvant treatment is still controversially discussed for elderly colon cancer (CC) patients. Our aim was to investigate the benefit of adjuvant treatment for younger (<70 years) and elderly (≥70 years) patients. ⋯ Our analysis clearly demonstrates for the first time an additional benefit of FA for adjuvant treatment of elderly CC patients. We conclude that this regimen is very safe and effective for adjuvant treatment of elderly patients.
