OBJECTIVE: We sought to clarify the characteristics of @entity356 in the elderly. METHODS: We examined 349 specimens of @entity356 . All specimens were obtained at autopsy from @entity1 who were over 65 years old. We analyzed the relations among five factors: age of the @entity1 , histological type, macroscopic appearance, grade of invasion and location. RESULTS: Older @entity1 were more likely to have @entity4937 , @entity420 , and Borrmann-2 and 3 lesions. @entity4937 together accounted for 14 of 84 @entity75 (16.3%). Borrmann-1 @entity2580 were observed in two cases. @entity420 made up 31 in 38 @entity308 (81.6%). Over half of the @entity4937 were @entity33 , but over 60% of the poorly differentiated @entity420 or @entity2580 had invaded the extraserosal layer. @entity4937 were commonly found in the lower part of the stomach, but poorly differentiated @entity420 and @entity2580 were found in all parts of the stomach. CONCLUSIONS: Unlike specimens obtained during surgery, many of those obtained at autopsy were from older @entity1 , and the @entity356 were advanced. Compared to many reports about specimens obtained during surgery, tubular or @entity4937 are not a few histological type in @entity75 in this study. Surgical specimens of @entity5 in younger @entity1 are most commonly found to be signet-ring-cell @entity189 , but @entity420 was common in this study. We found many differences between specimens obtained at autopsy and during surgery. These findings indicate that autopsy studies can reveal some otherwise-obscure characteristics of @entity356 in the elderly.
