title: [Clinical pathology of early stomach cancer. An analysis of Erlangen patients from the Surgical and Medical Clinic].
abstract: This is an analysis of 154 patients with early gastric cancer from 1969-1982. 44% of the carcinomas are limited to the mucosa, in 56% of all cases the submucosal layer is infiltrated. There was a relatively high rate of polypoid type (I, IIa) tumour (33%) whereas the impressed or ulcerative type (II + III) appeared only in 58%. Lymph node metastases were found in 8% (2% in mucosa and 12% in submucosa type respectively). The histological classification according to Laurèn seems to be decisive for the lymphogenic spread of metastases (diffuse type 15%, intestinal type 4%), less important is obviously the macroscopic type of tumour.
