[Cancer of the stump of the stomach].

In analysis of the mortality causes in the patients, previously subjected to gastric resection for ulcerous disease, it was found that the specific weight of the tumor of the remaining gastric portion in females was 2 times as much as in males (19.5% and 10.1% according to the autopsy findings, 10.2% and 6.8% as shown by the followup materials). There were revealed a number of factors causing these differences, the principal of them being: 1) predominance of senile subjects among the female group, 2) a later occurrence of gastroduodenal ulcers in them, 3) predominance of gastric ulcers over duodenal ones, 4) a longer survival in gastrectomized patients.
