The present results of surgery in gastrointestinal carcinoma, including all stages of the disease, show a 20% 5-year-survival-rate in stomach carcinoma, 45% in colon carcinoma and 41% in rectum carcinoma. It can already be demonstrated that improved early diagnosis may improve the results of surgical treatment of stomach carcinoma. Effective local and general follow-up treatment must be demanded.
