[Early cancer of the stomach (author's transl)].
Early cancer of the stomach is defined as a carcinomatous degeneration restricted to gastric mucosa and/or submucosa. The size of extension as well as the mode of perhaps previously spread metastases are not taken into account. The addition early is correct as far as the pathologic-anatomical localized findings are concerned. The clinician however associates early besides the idea of timely recognition and therapy with a better prognosis, e.g. real recovery for the patient. Yet, so-called early gastric cancer does by no means imply absolute curing. Therefore it seems to be more pregnant to speak mucosal and/or submucosal cancer of the stomach.
