Three Cases of Gastric Carcinoma Spread to the Duodenum / 대한소화기내시경학회지

ABSTRACT

It has been thought for many years that gastric adenocarcinoma almost never crosses the pylorus. Although this theory was generally accepted, several studies have refuted it. We report three cases of gastric adenocarcinoma direct spreading into the duodenum that was diagnosed by endoscopic duodenal biopsy and review the literature.
