title: [Cancer of the stump after gastric resection for peptic ulcer].
abstract: It was found that the development of cancer in the resected stomach stump during the first 2-3 years following the operation may be due to duodenal ulcer associated with atrophic gastritis foci. The probability of cancer arising in the stump is greater 10 years and longer after the operation, especially in persons older then 50. The clinical manifestations of gastric stump cancer do not differ from those of gastric cancer in nonoperated patients. Cancer in the gastric stump develops against the background of atrophic gastritis in the total absence of acid-producing and excretory functions. Dispensary control with a mandatory endoscopic examination annually may contribute to timely recognition of gastric stump cancer.
