Core Tip	This is a retrospective study to assess the outcomes of patients over 85 undergoing colorectal cancer resection. Patients over the age of 85 who underwent surgery were found to have equitable short term surgical outcomes when compared to those aged 75-85 years old. There was no difference in length of stay, severity of complications or mortality rates between the two groups. Patients over 85 were also analyzed based upon outcomes following open or laparoscopic surgery. There were no significant differences between length of stay , complication rates or mortality rates between the two techniques. Surgical intervention for colorectal cancer should not be based upon age alone.
