BACKGROUND/AIMS: To evaluate the clinicopathological features and results of surgery for @entity356 in elderly @entity1 aged   80 years relative to those aged   79 years, and to recommend the appropriate surgical treatment for elderly @entity1 . METHODOLOGY: A total of 332 @entity1 with @entity356 who underwent gastrectomy in our department between 2002 and 2012 were evaluated. Of these, 81 were aged   80 years (Group A) and 251 were aged   79 years (Group B). We compared surgical outcomes and survival in these two groups. RESULTS; @entity532 were associated with preoperative cormorbid disease(p<0.01). D2 and R0 resection was common in GroupB (p<0.01). @entity1576 and hospital deaths were higher in Group A than in Group B. @entity1349 ( @entity1349 ) was significantly lower in Group A than in Group B. Regarding Stage I disease, @entity1349 was significantly lower in Group A; however, cause-specific survival was similar between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that radicality and @entity260 were independent prognostic factors for @entity1349 in elderly @entity356 @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that @entity260 and other causes of @entity204 worsened the prognosis of elderly. Preoperative accurate judgment of co-morbid disease, meticulous postoperative management and follow up might be improved survival of @entity356 in elderly.

Comparison of XXXX surgery between @entity1 aged >80 years and <79 years: complications and multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.
