[Problems of therapeutic management of cancer of the superior pole of the stomach].
This cancer is rare (17-30%) and has the worst prognosis. In the interval 1970-1987 to the I-st Surgical Clinic of Iaşi were admitted and treated 648 patients with gastric cancers of which 98 (15.2%) with adenocarcinomas of the cardiac end of the stomach. In most patients the diagnosis was late: stage II and III-40 patients; stage IV-58 patients. Given the extension of the tumoral process, the exeresis was possible but in 36 cases (36.7%), as compared to 26-70% mentioned in the literature. The therapeutical management of these cases and the obtained results are presented.
