This is a randomized, controlled trial on frail older patients (aged 65 years or older) with colorectal cancer. The patients will be randomized into two groups. The control group will receive standard surgical treatment. The intervention group will in addition go through a preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessment. The assessment will include evaluation of co-morbidity and medication, social status, nutritional status, cognition, depression and physical performance. This assessment will form basis of an individualized intervention. Patients in the intervention group will participate in planned exercise programs before surgery, perioperative and postoperative.
