title: Gastric stump carcinoma.
abstract: Earlier studies report an increased risk of gastric cancer following B II. The present study performed a complete follow up of 1000 patients after B II in the years 1948-1956. The observed incidence of gastric stump carcinoma was 19. This is not significantly different from the expected number of 12.5, the risk being 1.52. From this result it is assumed that after a B II resection the risk of gastric cancer is not increased.
