title: Prediction of survival in gastric carcinoma and a new histopathologic approach.
abstract: During six years 188 consecutive patients with gastric carcinoma admitted to the Department of Surgery, University Hospital, Lund, were followed up to evaluate clinical as well as histopathologic factors which might be important to predict postoperative survival. We also introduced a new histopathologic scoring system based on nine different parameters. Radicality estimated by the surgeon, resection line margin, score at histologic grading and TNM were factors which in a multivariate analysis strongly correlated to survival.
