Summary
In the First Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Chiba University, 213 cases with early gastric carcinoma have undergone an excision from 1955 to 1975. The observed 5-year, relative 5-year1–5), observed 10-year, and relative 10-year survival rates of these cases amount to 89.3%, 99.8% and 98.0% respectively. The present investigation concerns 13 of these patients with diagnosed postoperative recurrent cases.
The post-operative gastric carcinoma recurrence might be classified to metastasis to liver and lymphnodes, peritoneal dissemination, residual gastric recurrence and recurrence in miscellaneous organs6). The 13 cases involved 2 cases of liver metastasis, 9 cases of residual gastric recurrence and 2 cases of recurrence in miscellaneous organs. Nine of these cases underwent re-operations which were grouped to 6 cases of residual gastrectomy, 2 cases of excision of miscellaneous organs (cecum and rectum), and 1 case exploratory laparotomy. The development in these cases is characterized by 3 cases of stump persistent carcinoma at the residual stomach due to stump carcinoma positive in excision, 2 cases of residual gastric carcinoma due to lymphatic vessel invasion and 6 cases of multiple carcinoma.
