Core Tip	Preoperative malnutrition in elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients is linked to poor prognosis, prolonged hospital stay, and delayed discharge. Therefore, malnutrition can serve as a negative predictor of the therapeutic efficacy of radical surgery for GC patients. Improving malnutrition and its adverse effects may effectively benefit elderly GC patients undergoing radical surgery.
