[Verification of guideline for gastric cancer treatment based on a questionnaire].
We reported the results of a questionnaire survey of doctors and patients in relation to the guideline for gastric cancer treatment which was first published 3 years ago. The purpose of this questionnaire was to know whether the degree of recognition and availability of this guideline is satisfactory or not. The results were as follows. 1) The recognition and availability of the guideline among doctors proved satisfactory. 2) For patients who underwent gastrectomy, this guideline is still unfamiliar. Reconsideration of the guideline contents is needed in accord with the medical level from time to time. Moreover, patients must be more and more educated regarding the guideline.
