title: Gastric cancer and survival.
abstract: The survival of patients with cancer of the stomach in a Melbourne series showed no improvement over a 20-year period. Of 246 patients, 8.1% survived for a period of five years, and 4.8% survived for 10 years after presentation. A further plea is made to establish a "100%" register of cancer.
