title: The early diagnosis and surgical treatment of the gastric stump carcinoma.
abstract: The clinical data of 30 patients with GSC after partial gastrectomy for benign gastric diseases were analyzed retrospectively. Eleven cases accepted radical resection, 11 cases palliative resection and the remaining 8 underwent exploratory laparotomy. It was emphasized that the detection of stump cancer at a relatively early stage, mainly due to screening programmes for gastro-rectomised patients, was important in improving its prognosis.
