[Stump carcinoma. A report of ten cases (in a series of 235 gastric cancer cases) (author's transl)].
In a series of 235 gastric cancer cases, 10 cases (4,2%) of cancer of the stump were discovered. Analysis of the results show that the length of time before appearance was always more than 15 years, and 24 years on average. There were no cases of cancer after gastroentero-anastomosis. As concerns pathogenesis, the authors stress the role of bile reflux and of the reduction in stomach acid secretion. They present in details their therapeutic management and insist on the necessity of fiberoptic detection among high risk cases : gastrectomy patients of over 15 years standing.
