Abstract

Background: Although cancers of the biliary tree (BTC) are more common in older age-groups, treatment approaches and outcomes are understudied in this population. Methods: Data from 913 patients diagnosed with BTC from January 1987 to July 2013 and treated at Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Toronto were analyzed. The impact of age, patient and disease characteristics on survival outcomes were assessed. Results: Five hundred and ninety four patients ≤70 years and 319 patients >70 years were identified. Older patients were less likely to receive active therapy - 154 (26%) patients ≤70 yrs received best supportive care alone compared to 130 (41%) of those >70 yrs; p70 (n=189) Gender Female Male 210 (48%) 230 (52%) 82 (43%) 107 (57%) Site Distal Gallbladder Intrahepatic Perihilar 107 (24%) 127 (29%) 111 (25%) 95 (22%) 47 (25%) 62 (33%) 35 (19%) 45 (23 ECOG PS
