The data on the results of therapy for gastric stump cancer in 176 patients were evaluated. Reoperation was carried out in 81 (46.0%); postoperative lethality was 7.4%. Combined abdominothoracic or thoracic alone access was available in all cases. It is suggested that relatively high radicality is assured when combined surgery for gastric stump recurrence is used. Overall 5-year survival was reported in patients radically operated on for relapse.
