Goals, Background The elderly population has been increasing during the last half a century and it would be important to know how aging influences the occurrence and biologic behavior of cancers. Study We investigated clinicopathologic characteristics of colorectal cancer in 1354 patients who underwent colorectal cancer resection and compared the results between extremely elderly patients (over 80 years old) and middle-aged/elderly patients (40 to less than 80 years old). Furthermore, we also examined expression of tumor suppressor genes and Cox-2 using frozen samples of colorectal cancer obtained from 62 patients ranging in age from 45 to 87 years. Results The results obtained in the extremely aged patients were: (1) higher ratio of women, (2) higher incidence at the proximal site, (3) higher incidence of cases with deeper invasion, (4) higher incidence of cases with lymph node metastasis (5) poorer survival rate as compared with middle-aged/elderly patients, and (6) lower mRNA expression levels of p27 and p53. Conclusions These findings taken together suggest that poor prognosis of colorectal cancer in patients over 80 years is associated with down-regulation of mRNA expression of some tumor suppressor genes.
