Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness and utilization trends of irinotecan (IRI)-based and oxaliplatin (OX)-based regimens with those of 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5FU/LV) alone in people aged 66 and older with Stage III colon cancer. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare data. PARTICIPANTS: People with Stage III surgically resected colon cancer who received adjuvant chemotherapy were categorized into 5FU/LV-alone (n=3,581), OX-based regimen (n=814), and IRI-based regimen (n=219) subgroups. MEASUREMENTS: Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models examined the effect of chemotherapies on overall survival, colon cancer-specific survival, and noncolon cancer-specific survival. RESULTS: Use of the OX-based regimen increased, and use of the 5FU/LV-alone and IRI-based regimens decreased over time. OX was statistically significantly associated with longer overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) =0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.62-0.86, P
