ABSTRACT
Gastric carcinoma is the 8th common and the commonest G.I. cancer in Iraq. 418 patients with biopsy proved cancer were studied clinically and by various diagnostic procedures. Non-specific dyspepsia was the presenting symptom in 2/3 patients and peptic ulcer like pain in 19,7% of patients. Tumor mass in the antrum was the commonest endoscopic finding and an ulcer was found in 23% of patients, but neither size nor site of the ulcer was helpful in differentiating benign from malignant ulcers. Barium series was helpful in 62,% of patients whereas brush cytology was diagnostic in 82% of patients. Histopathology was reported as adenocarcinoma in all but the disease was well advanced in all patients and curative measures were either palliative or not feasible
