The decision to undergo surgery for gastric cancer patients aged >= 85 years should be made carefully. We retrospectively reviewed the prognostic factors of gastrectomy for 64 patients aged >= 85 years who had undergone curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The effects of various clinical characteristics and surgical interventions on survival were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis revealed that sex (male/female; P = 0.001), the extent of gastric resection (total/distal; P = 0.028), the extent of lymph node dissection (D2/= 85 years after gastrectomy were significantly worse than those of females, as they were more likely to die of pneumonia.
