Having reviewed the literature on this topic, the authors examined the "quality of life" of elderly patients undergoing surgery for gastric carcinoma over the past 5 years. From the results obtained it was seen that the most frequent operation was total gastrectomy (51.1%), followed by gastric resection (48.9%); it was therefore possible to assert that living patients were all well, with a score of 100 on Karnofsky's scale (22.40%), despite the high percentage of deaths during the period examined. The authors therefore concluded that, given that the "quality of life" of those undergoing surgery was satisfactory, it is worthwhile operating whenever possible to give geriatric patients the possibility of leading a normal life.
在回顾了关于该主题的文献后，作者研究了过去5年中接受胃癌手术的老年患者的“生活质量”。从获得的结果可以看出，最常见的手术是全胃切除术（51.1%），其次是胃切除术（48.9%）；因此可以断言，尽管在所研究的期间死亡率很高，但存活的患者状况都很好，卡氏评分达到100分（22.40%）。作者因此得出结论，鉴于接受手术患者的“生活质量”令人满意，只要有可能，就值得进行手术，以使老年患者有过上正常生活的可能性。
