No regional survival disparities following curative gastrectomy in patients aged over 80 years with gastric cancer. a multicenter retrospective study

Key Points

• Patients over 80 experience similar survival rates across regions after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
• The study evaluates survival data across multiple centers, analyzing age-related effects and regional differences.
• Conducted as a multicenter retrospective study, it reviewed data from various hospitals treating elderly patients.
• These findings may suggest standardized treatment effectiveness in older populations but need validation across broader datasets.
