Abstract Background: Gastric cancer is responsible for a considerable proportion of all cancer-related deaths. Elderly cancer patients are often ignored in prospective studies in which the efficacy of chemotherapy is evaluated, although more than half of all gastric cancer cases are over the age of 70 years. The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of capecitabine-based chemotherapies in geriatric patients with gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 81 patients over the age of 65 years who received chemotherapy for metastatic gastric cancer at two oncology centers between 2012 and 2017 were included in the study. The medical records of the patients were evaluated retrospectively, and the patients and their performance status were evaluated using the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system and the World Health Organisation scale, respectively. Results: The mean age was 74 years. The male gender and the adenocarcinoma histological type were seen in higher rates. Most of the patients underwent capecitabine-cisplatin chemotherapy, and the mean follow-up was 42 months. The median overall survival of the groups of patients receiving capecitabine-cisplatin, capecitabine-oxaliplatin and capecitabine was 8 months, 10.7 months and 8.9 months, respectively, indicating no statistically significant differences between the groups (p=0.467). The median overall survival of all patients was found to be 8.7. The progression-free survival between the different chemotherapy subgroups was not statistically significant (p=0.59). The most common side effect was found to be anemia. Grade 3–4 adverse effects were similar between the arms of the study (p=0.725). A statistically significant increase was found in the mortality risk with an increased number of metastatic sites in a multivariate analysis (p=0.001). No correlation was found between the chemotherapy protocols and mortality risk (p=0.472). Adverse effects such as stomatitis, nausea/vomiting, neuropathy, neutropenic fever and nephrotoxicity, independent of chemotherapy, were statistically and significantly associated with the mortality risk (p=0.045, p=0.047, p=0.036, p=0.02 and p=0.049, respectively). Conclusions: Our study results show that adverse effects such as stomatitis, nausea/vomiting, neutropenic fever, nephrotoxicity and neuropathy increase the mortality risk which suggest that particularly oral health care, the application of appropriate antiemetic treatments, the close follow-up of kidney function tests and adequate hydration, protective infection barrier measures and effective treatment of neuropathy associated with chronic diseases are as important as chemotherapy in geriatric cases. Amaç: Mide kanseri, kanser kaynaklı ölümlerin önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Tüm mide kanseri olgularının yarısından fazlası 70 yaş üzerinde olmasına rağmen yaşlı kanser hastalar kemoterapi etkinliğinin değerlendirildiği prospektif çalışmalarda kendilerine yer bulamamaktadırlar. Biz bu çalışmada iki onkoloji merkezindeki geriyatrik gastrik kanserli hastalarda kapesitabin bazlı kemoterapilerin etkinliğini ve uygulanabilirliğini araştırmayı amaçladık. Materyal-metod:   Çalışmaya iki merkezden metastatik mide kanseri tanısı ile 2012- 2017 yılları arasında kemoterapi alan 65 yaş üzeri hastalar alındı. Hasta dosyaları retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar Amerikan Kanser Komitesi evrelendirme sistemi ve performans statusu Dünya Sağlık Örgütü skalasına göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 81 hastada ortalama yaş 74 idi. Erkek cinsiyet ve adenokarsinom histolojik tip daha yüksek orandaydı. Hastaların çoğunluğuna kapesitabin-sisplatin kemoterapisi verilmişti. Hastaların ortalama takip süresi 42 aydır. Kapesitabin-sisplatin, kapesitabin-okzaliplatin, kapesitabin  kemoterapisi alan grupların median tüm sağ kalım sırasıyla 8 ay, 10,7 ay ve 8,9 ay olarak saptandı, arada istatistiksel fark bulunmadı (p=0,467). Tüm hastaların median tüm sağ kalım 8,7 bulundu. Kemoterapi alt grupları aralarındaki progresyonsuz sağ kalım farkı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (p=0,59). En sık yan etki anemi olarak saptandı. Grad 3-4 yan etkiler kollar arası benzerdi (p=0,725). Çok değişkenli analizde metastatik bölge sayısı ile mortalite riski istatistiksel anlamlı artış göstermiştir (p=0,001). Kemoterapi protokolleri ile mortalite riski arası ilişki yoktur (p=0,472). Kemoterapiden bağımsız olarak stomatit, bulantı-kusma, nöropati, nötropenik ateş ve nefrotoksisite yan etkileri mortalite riski ile istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki içindedir (sırasıyla p=0,045, p=0,047, p=0,036, p=0,02 ve p=0,049). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda evre IV mide kanserli olgularda 8,7 ay tüm sağ kalıma ulaşılmıştır. Kemoterapi alt gruplarında ise hem yan etki hem de sağ kalımlar açısından anlamlı fark yoktur.  Stomatit, bulantı-kusma, nötropenik ateş, nefrotoksisite ve nöropati yan etkilerinin mortalite riskini arttırması, geriyatrik olgularda özellikle ağız bakımı, uygun antiemetik tedavi uygulanması, böbrek fonksiyon testlerininin sıkı takibi ve yeterli hidrasyon, enfeksiyon açısından koruyucu bariyer tedbirler ve nöropati ilişkili kronik hastalıkların etkin tedavisinin en az kemoterapi uygulanması kadar önem taşıdığını göstermiştir.
