Core Tip Data regarding octogenarians with colorectal cancer (CRC) are scarce. We compared octogenarians with CRC to younger patients. Octogenarians had a predominance of Ashkenazi ethnicity, a higher rate of personal history of other malignancies and a lower rate of family history of any cancer or of CRC. Their performance status (PS) at presentation was worse and their tumors were more likely to be located in the right colon and to have a poorer differentiation. Octogenarians received less treatment and treatment was less aggressive, regardless of PS. This might contribute to the worse outcome which was found among the octogenarians.
