Abstract:
The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer significantly increase among the elderly population.However, prospective clinical trials specifically targeting elderly patients with colorectal cancer remain scarce.Consequently, there is limited evidence-based guidance for oncologists to rely on when formulating diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this demographic.This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the overall management, treatment, and follow-up strategies for elderly patients with colorectal cancer, offering a theoretical basis for enhancing the prevention and treatment of this disease in older adults.
