Radical surgery for gastric cancer in octogenarian patients.
Updates in Surgery 2017 September
To valuate feasibility and results of radical surgery in octogenarian patients with gastric cancer. We collected data on 60 patients that underwent gastrectomy with an R0 resection at our Institution from 2010 to 2015. Patients were divided into two groups: octogenarian (OG) (n = 26), consisting of patients aged 80-89 years, and younger (YG) (n = 34), consisting of patients under 80 years of age. All patients were treated with total or subtotal gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy. A D2-lymphadenectomy was performed in 11 and 24 patients, a D1+ in 5 and 4, a D1 in 8 and 6, and a D0 in 2 and 0 cases in OG and YG respectively. The overall morbidity rate was 42.3% (11/26) in OG and 29.4% (10/34) in YG, while 90-days mortality was observed in four (15.4%) and one (2.9%) patients in OG and YG, respectively. The median hospital stay was 9 days (2-31) and 9.5 days (6-66) in OG and YG, respectively. Gastrectomy with radical resection and limited lymphadenectomy should be recommended for octogenarian patients with good performance status and low co-morbidity.
