title: [Cancer of the surgically treated stomach: 46 cases. II: Therapeutic and survival aspects].
abstract: We made a retrospective study of stomach cancer operated in 46 cases between 1971 and 1988, based on therapeutic aspects and survival, observing that due to the generally late diagnosis of this neoplasm, the treatment, which is mainly surgical, produces a low 5-year survival rate in the majority of patients. In our series, partial gastrectomy was more predominant than total gastrectomy, and the overall 5-year survival is 11% and 13%, depending on whether postoperative mortality is included or not. We recommend the follow-up of all patients operated for benign gastric pathology, basically by endoscopy five years after the operation and throughout life, for the early diagnosis and improved prognosis of this neoplasm.
