[Statistical studies on the resected gastric cancer of 1538 cases in Hokkaido (author's transl)].
1538 cases with resected gastric cancer in 1974 were registered by the group of surgeons from 76 main hospitals in Hokkaido, who wished to clarify the present situation of the operation of gastric cancer in Hokkaido. The results were as follows; The ratio of male to female was 1.9 to 1.0. The frequency of the resection was 76.9%. The frequency of the early cancer was 13.5%. The frequency of the total gastrectomy was 15.3%. No remarkable differences were found between the above-mentioned results and the results from the whole country. However, the differences between the operable cases estimated by the mortality returns and so forth and the actual cases of the operation amounted to more than 500. Therefore it was clarified that a large number of cases with the gastric cancer for which the operation was indicated failed to be operated. Thus these studies have given out an important subject for the operation on the gastric cancer.
