Abstract Background The proportion of elderly patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer is increasing. However, limited number of therapeutic outcomes in the elderly has been reported. Here we examined the surgical results based on a nationwide survey of elderly patients who underwent surgery for Stage I gastric cancer. Methods Data from 68,353 Stage I patients who underwent gastrectomy between 2001 and 2007 were retrospectively collected. The accumulated data were reviewed and analyzed by the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association registration committee. We first classified the patients as those aged ≤ 74 years and ≥ 75 years. We further classified those patients aged ≥ 75 years into groups by 5-year increments to examine their short- and long-term postoperative outcomes. Results Patients aged ≥ 75 years accounted for 46.5%. The 30-day mortality rate was 100 times a year in the survey. A nonhigh-volume center (non-HVC) was defined as a center in which gastric cancer surgery had been performed
