โฆ Synopsis
The prognosis of 270 cases with carcinoma of the stomach after curative gastrectomy was studied by histologic examination of the resected specimen. In cases without metastases, when there were both fibrous and cellular stromal reaction in the main tumor, the 5-year survival rate was 100% and, when the reaction was negative, the prognosis was 30%. If, however, there was no stromal reaction in the metastases, the prognosis was as miserable as 7.0%, with or without reaction in the main tumor. The authors conclude that stromal reaction around the carcinoma dominates the prognosis and that the prognosis can be estimated with further accuracy after analysis of the reaction in metastatic nodes.

Background. This study evaluated the prognosis of patients with carcinoma in the gastric remnant stump after distal gastrectomy for benign disease (stump cancer). Methods. Twenty patients with resected stump cancer were studied and compared with 266 patients with resected primary cancer in the uppe
