Age-dependent differences in first-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: the DISCO study.

CONCLUSIONS: In the DISCO study, older patients with mCRC received less aggressive first-line chemotherapy. Yet, they experienced more toxicity. Younger and older patients had similar CRC mortality. Shorter PFS and higher CRC mortality were observed in patients with poor PS. PMID: 30375911 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
