Decrease in 30-day and one-year mortality over time in patients aged ≥75 years with stage I–III colon cancer: A population-based study

ConclusionThirty-day and one-year mortality decreased over time in patients ≥75 years with stage I–III colon cancer, though the absolute decrease is small. However, 30-day mortality and in particular the one-year mortality are both still high in older patients with colorectal cancer and will need to be focused on to further improve outcomes for these patient subgroups.
