title: [Epidemiology, pathogenesis and prognosis of gastric carcinoma in the light of clinical and statistical follow-up after gastrectomy (author's transl)].
abstract: Epidemiological, pathnogenetic and prognostic aspects of gastric carcinoma after a gastrectomy a long time previously are presented. Apparently an increase in the 5-year survival rate can only be achieved by an improvement in early diagnostic measures. Early, and consequently for a successful operation timely, recognition of early stages of a malignant tumor will possibly be improved by immunological methods when radiology, endoscopy, histology and cytology can no longer contribute to a considerable improvement of the diagnostic status now attained. A life worth living is possible after total or subtotal gastrectomy because initial deficiency states such as malabsorption etc. can be compensated by adaptation phenomena.
