[Surgical treatment of carcinoma of the stomach (author's transl)].
Patients with carcinoma of the stomach are seen too late for surgical treatment. 130 out of the 1641 patients treated at the Erlangen hospital between 1956 and 1973, survived for a period of five years. Related to the curatively resected cases and irrespective of the surgical lethality, the rate of 5-year-survival is 34%. The proportion of prognostically favorable early carcinomas, which is 15.5% in our own patients, should be increased by early endoscopic exploration. In the patients surviving for more than five years, the rate of mortality is similar to that of the normal population. The surgical approach to carcinoma of the stomach depends on the location. Among the palliative operations, only resection results in an improvement of morbidity and mortality.
