摘要：
Colorectal cancer ranks third in incidence in both men and women after lung, breast and prostate cancer. The prevalence of colorectal cancer increases significantly with age, with 40% of patients in Europe being >75 years of age at the time of initial diagnosis. Furthermore, the number of elderly patients with colorectal cancer is expected to increase significantly over the next two decades.
