[Surgical treatment of primary cardiac carcinoma of remnant stomach--a report of 9 cases].

From April 1977 to May 1989, 15 patients with primary cardiac carcinoma of remnant stomach were seen, comprising 1.96% of all carcinoma of gastric cardia during the same period. Thirteen patients were treated by operation and the tumor was resected in 9-1 total gastrectomy with end-to-side esophagojejunostomy and 8 partial cardiectomy with end-to-side esophagogastrostomy. Operative procedure for primary cardiac carcinoma of remnant stomach is discussed with review of literature.
