[A case of type I early gastric cancer discovered after gastrectomy of depressed type early gastric cancer].
Greater clarification has resulted since the discussion at the 38th Stomach Cancer Research Meeting on the frequency of a cancer developing in the remaining portion of a stomach after excision of a previous gastric cancer. Further, fewer reports have appeared of early stage cancers in the remaining stomach. Reported here is a case of a patient with an early stage stomach cancer, type I, that occurred 5.5 years after resection of an early stomach cancer, type IIc + III, at a point some distance removed from the anastomosis of the remaining stomach. Total extirpation of the remaining stomach resulted. Two years later, surgery to remove a pulmonary small cell carcinoma in this patient also was performed. The paper presents a study of this case.
