Abstract
Sixteen thousand fiberoptic endoscopies were reviewed. Gastric stump cancer was found in 24 patients of 368 who had had gastric resection for benign peptic disease. A direct relation between the percentage of patients with cancer of the gastric stump and the postsurgical interval was observed. Patients with partial gastrectomy who are 15 to 20 years postoperative should have an endoscopy irrespective of presence or lack of symptoms. Multiple biopsies should be taken in view of the multicentric growth pattern of early carcinoma. © 1988, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. All rights reserved.File in questo prodotto:
