In this study, we investigated the clinical and oncologic outcomes of gastric cancer in patients over 80 years old through a case-control study. Methods: From January 2004 to December 2010, 291 patients aged over 81 years old (case group) were diagnosed and treated with gastric cancer at the Asan Medical Center.

Results: There were significant differences in overall 5-year survival rate between the two groups (30.9% vs 73.8%, Pu003c 0.001). When analysis was confined to resectable elderly patients with favorable performance of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score 1 or 2, curative resection group showed si...
