PURPOSE: It is controversial whether the treatment strategy for @entity356 should be different for elderly @entity1 . We herein evaluated the feasibility of gastrectomy and the risk factors for @entity260 in octogenarians with @entity356 . METHODS: We retrospectively collected data on 441 consecutive @entity1 who underwent total or subtotal gastrectomy for @entity356 . We divided all of the @entity1 into two groups: the octogenarian group (n  =  47), consisting of @entity1 aged 80-89  years, and the younger group (n  =  394), consisting of @entity1 under 80  years of age. RESULTS: The postoperative complication rate was 23.1  % (91/394) in the younger group and 36.2  % (17/47) in the octogenarian group (P  =  0.049). Octogenarian @entity1 had significantly lower preoperative serum @entity2313 levels (P  <  0.001) and higher ASA scores (P  <  0.001). Although the rate of each major complication was similar between the two groups, there was a trend toward a higher rate of other miscellaneous complications, mostly @entity532 , in the octogenarian group (P  =  0.077). A multivariate analysis of the @entity1 in the octogenarian group revealed that only total gastrectomy was a significant risk factor for @entity260 (P  =  0.035). CONCLUSION: Octogenarian @entity1 with @entity356 experienced more complications than younger @entity1 . Therefore, closer monitoring is needed for octogenarian @entity1 who will receive total gastrectomy.
