Core Tip	Despite survival benefit, fewer older patients with colon cancer receive chemotherapy, likely due to concerns regarding safety and efficacy of chemotherapy. The decision to treat elderly patients with advanced and metastatic colon cancer requires the incorporation of a thorough evaluation. Fit elderly patients are especially appropriate for treatment and should be offered the same regimens as their younger counterparts. Treatment related toxicities and quality of life should be monitored very closely in elderly patients receiving chemotherapy and more frequent follow-up should be arranged. In frail elderly patients, sequential single agent chemotherapy may be more tolerable than combination therapy.
