Figure 6 Survival rates of elderly and younger patients regarding the extent of esophagogastric resection for type II tumor: total gastrectomy with distal esophagectomy (TG+DE) vs total gastrectomy with total esophagectomy (TG+TE) (P = 0. 4697). Both in the elderly and younger patients with type II tumor, total esophagectomy did not improve survival rates significantly. Group A: ≥70 years old; group B: ≤60 years old. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank test.
