title: Remnant-stump early gastric cancer following partial gastrectomy.
abstract: Eight rare cases of remnant-stump early gastric cancer (RS-EGC) were investigated, retrospectively. The incidence of RS-EGC was 0.9% (8/845) of all resected early gastric cancers. The macroscopic cancer type was elevated in 75% and mucosal in 88%. All were the differentiated type with no lymph node metastasis. The initial reconstruction involved a Billroth II in 75% of the patients. The RS-EGC was usually found during a periodic endoscopic follow-up. All patients are still alive with no postoperative complications and no cancer recurrence.
