Abstract:
For the past five years we have experienced six cases of remnant stomach cancer. All of the cases were successfully operated in our hospital, but in almost of them the preoperative conditions were not well and cancer had progressed considerably, so that their prognoses were not promising.
The key for the cure of this malady lies in early detection and early treatment. Even those who have undergone partial gastrectomy should receive examinations for gastric cancer on a regular basis. But in our series only one patient (case 4) had received fluoroscopy since the first operation. The remaining five patients had no examination of the remnant stomach, nor gastric mass screening at all.
Now case 4 was detected by mass screening, so we emphasize in this paper the necessity of gastric mass screening for those who had partial gastrectomy.
