Colorectal carcinoma in the elderly: a geriatric and surgical practice compared.

R T Edwards, C J Bransom, D L Crosby, M S Pathy.   

Abstract

Two hundred and eighty-eight patients with colorectal cancer over the age of 65 years admitted to either the geriatric unit or a surgical unit have been compared. Significant differences in presentation and outcome were found and are discussed. Despite adverse factors, acceptable results were obtained for surgical treatment in the geriatric group.
