ABSTRACT

In this paper,the authors reviewed 141 cases of senile gastric carcinoma,with 23 cases followed up.The clinical features,and the relationship between the longth of the course and the resection rate of the tumor have been analysed retrospectively.The results show that gas- tric carcinoma in the aged pepole has a characteristic of a longer history and higher resectable possibility,it is mainly from the canceration of gastric ulcer,well differentiated and low metastatic,and has a favourable prognosis and longer survival.Important suggestions to im- prove its resection rate and survival rate include making a follow-up gastroscopy for the aged pepole with a longer history of gastric diseases or peptic ulcers.For the aged patients who are over 50 with a long history of gastric ulcer or chronic intractable atrophic gastritis,it is rec- ommended to employ the surgery of gastrectomy and the R_Ⅱ mode of operation is of choice, and chemotherapy should be followed.
