Zusammenfassung:Purpose The goal of this study was to analyze the use and the effectiveness of both surgery and different chemotherapies in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) ≥70 years compared to younger patients. Methods Survival was analyzed in 456 patients (24.3% ≥70 years) treated for CLM in a single center using Kaplan-Meier estimation of overall survival (OS), calculation of relative survival as estimate for disease-specific survival, and a Cox regression model. Results Complete surgical resections were achieved more often in patients aged
