Objectives: Oncological treatments of older patients have many unresolved questions mainly because of the fact that these patients were not eligible to be included in most clinical trials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment approach to localized rectal cancer in the older population, including complication rates and overall survival in patients treated with curative intent.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of patients older than 80 years old (group A) who were treated for clinical stages II to III rectal cancer.
