title: [Radical surgical treatment of cancer of the stomach in surgical hospitals].
abstract: Results of treatment of 571 patients with gastric cancer as well as errors committed during palliative and radical surgery were analysed. General surgeons not infrequently performed distal resection of the stomach for cancer of its proximal part whereas in cases of gastrectomy the distal part of the esophagus was not removed when indicated. On the contrary, in patients with cancer of the distal part of the stomach, surgeons aspired to save as much of the organ as possible, as would be done for the treatment of gastric ulcer. Principles of radical surgery for cancer were violated in those cases.
