| Core Tip |
Therapeutic opportunities for elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients have expanded. This multicenter study investigated surgical therapies for GC patients of age 85 or older. Cancer-specific and overall survival rates were 100% and 56% in cStage?Ⅰ. The factors of pT3/4 and limited lymphadenectomy were predictive of worse prognosis. Cancer-specific survival in cStage Ⅱ with radical lymphadenectomy was significantly better, but did not significantly benefit cStage Ⅲ. Only cerebrovascular disease was related with limited lymphadenectomy. Non-cancer-specific death was not negligible, particularly in cStage?Ⅰ, and gastrectomy with radical lymphadenectomy appeared to be an effective treatment for cStage Ⅱ elderly patients.
