After completing this course, the reader will be able to:1. Identify the prevalence of adjuvant chemotherapy utilization in elderly patients with stage III colon cancer.2. Discuss the prevalence and impact of venous thromboembolism in elderly patients with stage III colon cancer.3. Identify potential for development of a clinical trial to study the clinical benefit and impact on cancer-specific and all-cause mortality of thromboprophylaxis during adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patients with stage III colon cancer.This article is available for continuing medical education credit at CME.TheOncologist.com. CME CME ABSTRACTBackground. The improvement in survival rates for patients with colon cancer has shifted the focus from examining cancer-specific mortality to exploring all-cause mortality. Adverse events such as venous thromboembolism (VTE) affect overall survival times and the net clinical benefit of cancer management strategies.Methods. This retrospective study used Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Medicare data to examine VTE incidence and mortality rates for elderly
