Core Tip Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has demonstrated safety and feasibility for elderly patients with gastric cancer, but feasibility alone does not define success. This editorial reframes ERAS as a pathway toward functional recovery-restoring biological resilience, metabolic homeostasis, and circadian stability while preserving independence. By integrating psychophysiological support, nutritional-inflammatory modulation, and digital monitoring, ERAS can evolve into an adaptive, precision rehabilitation model that bridges chronological age and biological potential.
