    ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of elderly patients with colon cancer. MethodsThe clinicopathological and followup data of patients with colon cancer were compared retrospectively between those older than 60 years (405 patients) and those younger than 40 years (146 patients). ResultsFamily history, comorbidities, preoperative intestinal obstruction, and differentiation grade were significantly different between two groups (P<0.05). The 5-year survival rate of patients in elder group and younger group was 64.9% and 56.8% respectively, and there was significant difference (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis indicated that the independent predictors of survival were comorbidities, perioperative CEA level, preoperative intestinal obstruction, tumor gross type, lymph node metastasis, hepatic metastasis, and TNM stage. ConclusionPatients older than 60 years with colon cancer have unique clinicopathological characteristics and better prognosis. The independent predictors of survival are comorbidities, perioperative CEA level, preoperative intestinal obstruction, tumor gross type, lymph node metastasis, hepatic metastasis, and TNM stage.
