BACKGROUND: Clinical trials have established surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) as the standard management for stage III colon cancer; however, the extent to which these results apply to elderly patients in routine practice is unclear. This article describes the management and outcomes...
Forty-six patients were staged as CII and four as CI colon cancer. The average number of positive nodes was 5.1 (range, 3–58). The margins of resection were adequate in all patients. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 75 months (average, 29.3; median, 24). Overall cancer-related mortality ...
