Background: Colon cancer (CC) is a disease of elderly patients (pts.) with a median age of 73 years (yrs.). Lack of data about the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is caused by underrepresentation of this clinically relevant cohort in interventional trials. We analyzed real‐world data from the German CPP registry with regard to a possible benefit of ACT in elderly (70+ yrs.) versus younger pts. (50 to <70 yrs.) taking cause‐specific deaths into account. Methods: We analyzed the effect of age and ACT on overall survival (OS) and cause‐specific death of stage III pts. using Cox regression. Results: In total, 1558 pts. were analyzed and follow‐up was 24.6 months. 62.6% of the elderly received ACT whereas 91.1% of younger pts. (p < 0.001). Oxaliplatin combinations were significantly less often given to older than younger pts. (38.8% vs. 88.9%; p < 0.001). Mean Charlson comorbidity score was significantly lower in pts. that received ACT (0.61) than in those without ACT (1.16; p < 0.001). ACT was an independent positive prognostic factor for cancer‐related death in elderly pts. even in pts. 75+ yrs. No significant difference in the effect of ACT could be observed between age groups (interaction: cancer‐specific death HR = 1.7948, p = 0.1079; death of other cause HR = 0.7384, p = 0.6705). Conclusion: ACT was an independent positive prognostic factor for OS. There may be a cohort of elderly with less co‐morbidities who benefit from ACT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
