The aim of this study was to evaluate clinicopathological features and prognosis in elderly GC patients. Patients and methods: From May 2008 to December 2014, a total of 5,282 GC patients were enrolled in our present study. Patients were divided into elderly and middle-aged groups. The clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results: The proportion of dysphagia was significantly higher in elderly patients than that in middle-aged patients (P=0.002), whereas the proportion of abdominal pain and heartburn was significantly lower in elderly patients than that in middle-aged patients (P<0.001 vs P=0.038, respectively). The proportion of patients with carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 was significantly higher in elderly patients than that in middle-aged patients (P=0.009). There was no significant difference in clinicopathological features between elderly and middle-aged patients with D2 gastrectomy (all P>0.05). Age, tumor size, histological type, tumor depth, lymph node metastasis, carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha fetoprotein, CA19-9, and CA125 were independent risk factors for the prognosis of GC patients in univariate and multivariate analyses. Overall survival in elderly patients was significantly reduced compared with middle-aged patients (P=0.001), especially in patients with tumor size >5 cm (P=0.002), poorly differentiated tumor (P<0.000), stage III tumor (P=0.002), or normal levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (P=0.009), alpha fetoprotein (P=0.002), CA19-9 (P=0.002), and CA125 (P=0.004). Conclusion: The clinicopathological features of elderly patients were different to those of middle-aged patients. The prognosis for elderly GC patients was significantly worse than for middle-aged patients. Keywords: gastric cancer, elderly, clinicopathological features, prognosis
