Summary

Patients aged \> 80 years represent an increasing proportion of colon cancer diagnoses. It is important to have relevant and trustable data concerning elderly colorectal cancer patients surgery and postoperative morbidity, functional ability, life quality and survival numbers. With possibly compromised health status and functional decline the benefits of surgical management and outcomes can diminish life quality and overall survival.

With proper patients selection, preoperative health evaluation and thus patient information, colorectal cancer surgery can be performed with lower morbidity and mortality rates with comparative survival numbers.

The aim of this prospectively collected, observational study is to acquire data from colorectal cancer surgery in aged over 80 years and perform statistical analysis of the preoperative risk factors affecting postoperative morbidity, functional recovery, mortality and overall survival.
