[Chemically induced stomach carcinomas in rats following vagotomy and Bilroth II gastrectomy].

180 Wistar-rats were daily exposed to 30 and 100 mg MNNG/1000 ccm tapwater. After an exposure of 7 weeks a truncal vagotomy with pyloroplasty or a Billroth II-resection was performed in 25 animals of each dosage-group. 80 rats were not operated. The incidence of carcinomas in the Billroth II-rats of both dosage-groups was evidently higher than in the exposed controls. In the vagotomized rats an increased occurrence of carcinomas could not be observed.
