title: [Therapeutic treatment of Borrmann type 4 (scirrhous) gastric cancer-chemotherapy and histopathological studies].
abstract: Up to now, there has been no investigation documenting clearly the effectiveness of chemotherapy for Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer from a histopathological viewpoint. In this paper, we present a few representative cases of Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer in which microscopic examination revealed the therapeutic effectiveness (degradation of cancer cells) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Further, comparative studies will be needed to clarify the relationship between the assessed effectiveness of therapy by roentgenological and histopathological examination.
