title: [Adenocarcinoma of the cardia].
abstract: The extensed total gastrectomy of principle represents a new hope in the surgical treatment of the cardial adenocarcinoma. On the basis of a retrospective study of 38 patients (30 men and 8 women) we think that for patients in good general condition and for stades I and II, the enlarged total gastrectomy represents the only treatment with curative aiming. As for stade III and a fortiori stade IV, there is no advantage to use the enlarged total gastrectomy. For stade III, survival is inferior to 10 months, whatever the type of operation used, and for stade IV survival is inferior to 3 months, whatever the treatment.
