[Early gastric carcinoma].
The early gastric cancer can now be diagnosed more frequently by improved methods of roentgenology and endoscopy. At present 16.7 percent of the gastric resections for cancer in our clinic are for early gastric cancers. Indicative clinical symptoms were demonstrable in 25 of our own 27 cases described here. Infiltration of the gastric wall (mucosa- and submucosatype) and lymph-node metastases are important to the prognosis. Intraoperatively, it is essential to localize the tumor unobjectionably and to perform a sufficiently radical resection (generally subtotal gastrectomy and excision of the lymph-nodes). The 5-year-survival-rate totals 70 to nearly 100 percent. Postoperatively controls are necessary for the diagnosis and eventually the treatment of possible recurrence.
