Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Gastric cancer is most frequent after the fifth decade of life. Surgical risk is higher in aged population because of general health condition may affect the postoperative result. Aim of the study was to identify risk factors for post-operative mortality in octogenarian patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

236 patients (181: 80-85 years old and 55: \>85 years old) underwent surgery for gastric cancer at the Sant'Orsola-Malpighi University Hospital in Bologna between 2010 and 2015. The variables of the two groups of patients were compared.
