 Because of the ongoing growth of elderly patients suffering from gastric cancer in Japan, the significance of appropriate management for such patients has been increasing. For therapeutic decision-making for elderly patients with early gastric cancers (EGCs), the risk of non-gastric cancer-related mortality and impaired quality of life as well as gastric cancer-specific mortality should be evaluated. Although therapeutic intervention, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), is recommended even for elderly patients with EGCs in the current Japanese guidelines, general condition and comorbidities vary across the patients and, thus, no treatment for EGCs is selected in some cases. When ESD is performed for elderly patients, endoscopists should be more careful for complications, such as those accompanied with sedation and post-ESD bleeding. In addition to risk stratification of lymph node metastasis and gastric cancer-specific mortality by the eCura system, it is required to establish a risk assessment method for non-gastric cancer-related mortality and quality of life for decision-making after ESD with eCuraC-2 in elderly patients. Currently, a large-scale multicenter cohort study (E-STAGE trial) is ongoing for establishing an appropriate treatment strategy for EGC in elderly patients.
