Core Tip Against the backdrop of the escalating global health burden of gastric cancer in older adults, refining postoperative rehabilitation strategies is crucial for enhancing prognosis and improving quality of life in this population. A retrospective study conducted by Li et al on 161 older gastric cancer patients who underwent Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) provided robust evidence supporting the clinical adoption of ERAS protocols. Additionally, the study offered critical implementation insights into perioperative pathway execution in routine practice. However, the study is constrained by its retrospective, single-center design; future investigations should prioritize multicenter, prospective cohorts to elevate the level of evidence and accelerate clinical translation. Equally important, real-world adherence to ERAS protocols must be rigorously evaluated.
