title: [Results of left upper abdominal evisceration (LUAE) in diffuse infiltrating carcinoma of the stomach].
abstract: Seventy-six (30.6%) out of 248 cases of diffuse infiltrating cancer of the stomach according to Kajitani's classification of gross appearance were surgically treated by LUAE. The survival rate of LUAE cases was better among both relative non-curative cases and Stage IV cases than that among cases treated by other forms of surgery. The survival rate of for LUAE cases was slightly better for cancer located mainly in the upper and mid-portion of the stomach than for cases of diffuse infiltrating cancer not treated by LUAE used as historical controls.
