Data on 90 patients with gastric carcinoma involving only the mucosa of the stomach wall are presented. All the patients were operated upon according to oncological principles. No regional metastasizing was observed at this level of invasion. Squamous-infiltrative tumors were found to be most typical (46.7%). Five-years survival after radical surgical treatment was 90.3%.
