title: [Gastric cancer in the geriatric patient: our experience].
abstract: The Authors report their experience in the management of 68 patients aged over 70 years affected by gastric cancer: 64 of them were operated. After some considerations on patients status, nutritional and immunological conditions, operative risk and cancer characteristics the Authors, on the basis of the results obtained, discuss about the opportunity of surgical therapy and relative adequate surgical techniques in the elderly.
