title: [Preoperative gastric acid secretion of gastric cancer patients and their prognosis].
abstract: This study was performed to evaluate how preoperative gastric acid secretion in gastric cancer patients correlated their prognosis. The results are as follows. 1) The 5-year survival rates of patients with MAO = 0mEq/h, 0mEq/h less than MAO less than or equal to 7.0mEq/h and 7.0mEq/h less than MAO were 29.2%, 73.6% and 88.4%, respectively. There were significant differences among them. 2) The patients with 7.0mEq/h less than MAO had normal cellular immunity and low immunosuppressive glycoproteins in sera. These results suggest that gastric cancer patients who have a potency of normal gastric acid secretion with normal cellular immunity, or who have a potency of normal immunity with normal gastric acid secretion, have a good prognosis.
