title: [Recent trends in the treatment of stomach carcinoma and its link with treatment of carcinoma of other organs].
abstract: The updated surgical modality for gastric carcinoma tends to be divided into an extended operation for advanced carcinomas and the limited surgery for early carcinomas. Moreover, the value of cancer chemotherapy for inoperable carcinomas and postoperative carcinomas has been recognized. The treatment efficacy of lymph nodal dissection of the para-abdominal aorta area is such that the 5-year survival in the curative resection of N(-)-N3(+) is 34.6%, and that in N4(+) is 19%. Therefore, it is concluded that lymph nodal dissection of the paraabdominal aorta area is significant to achieve better long-term survival. The 5-year survival rate in the adjuvant cancer chemotherapy group in cases of curatively resected Stage III carcinomas of the stomach was significantly superior to that in Stage III cases with surgery only.
