title: [Surgical treatment of intermediate-stage gastric cancer].
abstract: Gastric cancers for which either the invasion depth of the stomach wall layers is moderate or the extent of lymph node metastasis is moderate were defined as carcinomas of intermediate-stage. In consideration of the clinico-pathological characteristics of these intermediate-stage gastric cancers, the therapeutic methods for the cancers were studied. It was concluded that since intermediate-stage gastric cancer is a kind of advanced cancers, the most desirable surgical approach will be a radical surgical operation and an adequate adjuvant therapy.
