Core Tip	Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the elderly. However, elderly patients with CRC tend to be under-presented in clinical trials and undertreated in clinical practice. In older patients with CRC, advanced age alone should not be the only criteria to preclude adjuvant or palliative chemotherapy that is effective in younger patients. This review provides readers with a better understanding of the potential benefit of chemotherapy in older patients with CRC.
