title: [The medical management of carcinoma of the stomach (author's transl)].
abstract: Only a small proportion of patients with carcinoma of the stomach are suitable for radical surgery. For the remainder symptomatic treatment and radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy can be used to relieve distressing symptoms of pain, nausea and vomiting, and severe anemia. In the case of radiotherapy or chemotherapy, a degree of tumor regression can be expected. There have been encouraging results recently in palliating this disease with new radiotherapy techniques, notably fast neutron irradiation.
