title: [The clinical significance of the histological classification of stomach cancer after Laurén].
abstract: Clinical parameters were evaluated in 179 operated cases of gastric cancer. They proved significantly different for intestinal, diffuse and undifferentiated tumors according to Laurén. Patients with undifferentiated cancer of the stomach had the worst prognosis; they more often presented with stage IV disease and tumors larger than 6 cm. Three-year survival rate for that histology was significantly lower (26%) as compared to that for intestinal (51%) and diffuse types (40%).
