title: [Recurrences after surgical treatment of early (pT1) cancer of the stomach: laws of development, extended lymphadenectomy in prophylaxis of recurrences].
abstract: Long-term results of treatment of 175 patients with early cancer of the stomach are analyzed. Recurrences of the disease (local, regional recurrences and distant metastases) were diagnosed in 14 (8.2% of all operated) patients. Duration of recurrence-free period ranged from 2-3 months to 9.5 years; median was 12 months. Tumor spread, regional nodes affection, tumor morphological structure, age of patients were the main prognostic factors for recurrences. Extent of surgery and lymphodissection did not correlate with recurrences rate. It is concluded that extended lymphodissection in patients with early cancer of the stomach should not be regarded as a real method for an increase of treatment efficacy.
