Prognostic risk factors for postoperative long-term outcomes in elderly stage IA gastric cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of gastric cancer (GC) patients with other diseases is increasing due to the aging of the population. In particular, in stage IA GC patients who have multiple diseases, surgical indications should be considered after identifying prognostic factors. We therefore investigated prognostic factors for stage IA GC in the elderly.

Methods

Patient characteristics were collected and analyzed retrospectively for elderly patients with stage IA GC who underwent curative surgical treatment at Okayama University Hospital between 2010 and 2015, and an elderly group (EG; 75-79 years old) and very elderly group (VEG; ≥80 years old) were compared.

Results

Fifty-three patient in the EG and 31 patients in the VEG were compared. No factors associated with clinicopath
