[Cancer of the stomach, the choice of surgery based on correct staging: total or subtotal gastrectomy?].
On the basis of the literature and of personal experience, the problem of the extent of demolition time, total gastrectomy or subtotal gastrectomy for patients suffering from stomach cancer is analysed. It is considered that total gastrectomy does not always lead to longer survival by comparison with subtotal gastrectomy and that in certain cases the latter, after careful consideration of a series of variables, may be the operation of choice.
