Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the major complications frequently observed in patients with diabetes. DFU is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation (LLA), and it is associated with cognitive decline, worsening quality of life and substantial economic impact on French healthcare system. DFU is also associated with excess risk of premature death with significant decrease in life expectancy despite major improvement in medical care during last decades. The hypothesis of the study is that this worse prognosis seen in DFU patients may not be fully explained by a high cardiovascular risk, but mainly linked to different causes, including inflammatory, infectious and malignant conditions. In addition, to conduct the first prospective, observational and multi-centre cohort of patients with DFU in France to evaluate the 5-years mortality rate, its causes and relevant prognostic determinants, the investigators will also assess all changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and the economic impact related to DFU (cost of illness study) for the French healthcare system, using SNDS claims databases. A 3-year inclusion period will start during 2020, and each participant will be followed for 5 years or until death.

RECRUITING

Colorectal cancer occurs mainly in elderly patients. Recent estimation showed that in France more than 50% of the patients diagnosed with a colorectal cancer are 70 years old or more. Adjuvant chemotherapy has demonstrated a benefit on disease-free survival and overall survival after a stage III colon cancer resection. Nevertheless adjuvant chemotherapy is poorly used in elderly patients. Prognostic improvement with chemotherapy based on 5FU is suggested by a post-hoc analysis of randomized prospective clinical trial. But elderly patients in this study were highly selected and patients older than 80 represented only 0.7% of the total population. Thus, there is still a concern about the benefit of adjuvant 5FU-based chemotherapy in very elderly unselected patients. The recommended treatment for stage III adjuvant chemotherapy is a combination of fuoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin. Nevertheless oxaliplatin did not demonstrated survival advantage in elderly patients. Altogether there are still two matters of debate: * First, is there a benefit of fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy for unfit elderly patients? * Second, is there a benefit of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for fit elderly patients? The aim of this randomized phase III study is to evaluate the benefit for disease-free survival of adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patient and which chemotherapy. The elderly patient population will be dichotomized into two groups according to physician's choice after a multidisciplinary evaluation involving a geriatrician, with two different randomization assignments. The patients with an expected life-expectancy below 4 years according Lee score are excluded of this study. Some biological tumour abnormalities are more frequently observed in elderly (i.e. mismatch repair deficiency), therefore an evaluation of specific biological prognostic factors is needed in elderly population.
