[Clinical aspects of cancer of the resected stomach].

From 1962 to 1980 54 patients suffering from gastric carcinoma following partial gastrectomy were admitted to the Central Institute for Cancer Research of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. No surgical therapy was possible in 13 additional cases due to distant metastases. In all patients operated upon a considerable expansion of the tumour could be observed. For an early detection of the carcinoma in the resected stomach a regular prophylactic examination by endoscopy should be practiced.
