title: [Early gastric cancer. A follow-up of 20 cases].
abstract: The paper describes 20 cases of early gastric cancer diagnosed by endoscopy and multiple biopsies, combined with x-ray tests using a double contrast medium, with the aim of reducing the number of false negatives. Surgery was modified according to the site and macroscopic characteristics of the neoplastic lesion (type 1, 2a, 2b: total gastrectomy + extended lymphadenectomy; type 2c and 3: gastric resection, except for different indications according to the site). In line with data reported by other Authors, the five-year survival rate was 90%.
