title: [The association of ulcer and cancer is no rarity].
abstract: Out of 100 patients with early gastric carcinoma 4 cases with a combined benign gastric and/or duodenal ulcer were encountered. Even in long-lasting peptic ulcer history and multiple benign biopsies carcinoma may develop at some site in the ulcer stomach. That's why intermittent therapy based on ulcer symptoms in a patient with chronic ulcer disease remains problematic. Carcinoma incidence seems to be identical in patients with gastric and duodenal ulcer and does not differ from a population with an ulcer-free stomach.
