Abstrakt:	Based on a recent study by Li et al , this editorial examines the significance of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols for elderly patients with gastric cancer. Cancer-related mortality, which is overwhelmingly caused by gastric cancer, calls for effective treatment strategies. Despite advances in the field of oncology, conventional postoperative care often results in prolonged hospital stays and increased complications. The aim of ERAS is to expedite recovery, reduce surgical stress, and improve patient satisfaction. The study of Li et al showed that, compared to traditional care, ERAS significantly reduces mortality risk, shortens hospital stays, and decreases postoperative complications. These findings support the widespread implementation of ERAS protocols in surgical practice to enhance patient outcomes and healthcare value.
