ABSTRACT
Results of consecutive study of 120 cases of carcinoma stomach treated by one surgical team over a period of 10 years (1980-89) are presented. Maximum cases were in the sixth and seventh decades with male to female sex ratio of 2.51. The lesion in most cases were in the gastric antrum. Distal tumours were more of poorly differentiated histology compared to proximal tumours. Eighty-three out of 120 (69%) patients underwent surgical resection. In 50 patients it was in the form of a subtotal and distal gastrectomy. Only 5 patients underwent a total gastrectomy. In 70 cases the resection which involved en bloc removal of involved part of stomach including adequate proximal and distal free margins, omenta and perigastric lymph nodes and considered absolutely curative in 8 cases being no disease. The overall 5-year-survival figure was 18%. However, taking only the resected cases into account, the 5-year survival rate was 27%. The low survival figure can be attributed to a very small number of early cases encountered.
