title: [The treatment of gastric tumours in our practice: a five year survey].
abstract: Between the 1st of January, 1998 and the 31st of December, 2002 we treated 111 patients for gastric cancer in the 2nd Department of Surgery, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. The majority of patients belonged to the advanced stages of the disease. In 65% of the cases a partial or total gastrectomy was performed. We combined the operation with D2 lymph node dissection if a R0 resection was possible, in the other cases with D1 lymphadenectomy. Postoperative morbidity rate ranged to 15%, the mortality 5.4%. 74 patients could be followed, 41 are dead and 33 still alive. According to the follow up examination the median survival time is 20.4 months at the moment. We observed a significantly shorter survival time, if vascular or lymphoid vessel invasion was present in the histologic specimen. The study has not been finished and the follow up will be continued.
