OBJECTIVE: Despite the fact that @entity1204 commonly occurs in elderly @entity1 , little is known about the outcome of the oldest old, those > 80 years of age. We examined the patterns of care and outcome of the oldest old @entity1 with @entity1204 . METHODS: An analysis of @entity1 > 65 years of age with @entity4348 of the uterus diagnosed between 1988 and 2006 and registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was performed. @entity1 were stratified by age into the following groups: 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-84, and >=  85 years of age. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to examine treatment while adjusting for other confounders. Cancer-specific survival was examined using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS: A total of 37,718 @entity1 including 5289 aged 80-84 and 3446 >=  85 years of age were identified. Older @entity1 had higher grade @entity5 (p<0.0001) and more advanced stage disease (p<0.0001). After adjusting for @entity5 characteristics, @entity1 >=  85 years of age were less likely to undergo hysterectomy (OR=0.14; 95% CI=0.12-0.16) and lymphadenectomy (OR=0.48; 95% CI=0.44-0.54) and less likely to receive radiation (OR=0.41; 95% CI=0.36-0.46). After adjustment for treatment and prognostic factors, @entity5 -specific mortality was 53% (HR=1.53; 95% CI=1.39-1.67) greater in @entity1 80-84 and 89% (HR=1.89; 95% CI= 1.71-2.08) greater in those >=  85 years of age than in @entity1 65-69 years old. CONCLUSION: @entity1 > 80 years of age receive less aggressive care than younger @entity1 . Even after adjusting for treatment differences, @entity5 -specific mortality is higher in the oldest old @entity1 .
