Clinicopathologic characteristics of gastric carcinoma in elderly patients: A comparison with young patients

Figure 1 Survival curves of young and elderly patients without and with curative resection. A: Survival curves of young and elderly patients without curative resection. The 5-year survival rates of young and elderly patients did not differ statistically (52.8% vs 46.5%, P = 0.5290); B: Survival curves of the young and elderly groups with curative resection. The 5-year survival rates of young and elderly patients with curative resection did not differ statistically (67.0% vs 60.0%, P = 0.3100).

Figure 2 Survival curves of elderly patients according to resectability. The patients with curative resection had a better 5-year survival rate than those with non-curative resection in elderly group (60.0% vs 6.5%; P<0.001).
