Abstract: We began gastric mass survey at our hospital in May, 1980. During 3 years and 8 months since then, (May, 1980-December, 1983) we performed screening examinations to 16, 341 people by indirect radiography, and checked 2, 824 cases (17.3%) for thorough examination. Among these cases, 2, 083 (73.8%) received endoscopic examination actually, and 55 cases of gastric cancer were discovered. The discovery rate of gastric cancer was 0.336 per cent.
35 cases of these 55 gastric cancer were operated in the surgical department of our hospital. 34 cases were resected (rate of resection was 97.1%) and 33 cases were resected curatively (rate of curative resection was 94.3%). These results were better than that of gastric cancer cases from out-patient clinic of the same period. The results of cases from out-patient clinic of our hospital were: total number of cases 321, resected cases 254 (79.1%), curative resection 189 cases (58.9%), respectively.
