Core Tip	More than 50% of colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed in patients over 70 years of age. As the geriatric patient is traditionally excluded from randomized controlled trials for a variety of factors (heterogeneity, comorbidities, polypharmacy, inability to consent, etc.) there is a dearth of evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of these patients. Although cure and sphincter preservation are the primary goals, many other variables need to be taken into account, such as the maintenance of cognitive status, independence, life expectancy, and quality of life. Personalized and patient-centered care should be the goal when caring for elderly patients with colorectal cancer.
