Abstract
From January 1992 to December 1995, 208 patients with adenocarcinoma o f the stomach were admitted for surgical treatment; total gastrectomy was performed in 152 patients. Improvement of survival rates in compar ison to earlier European studies could be obtained by radical resectio n and routinely performed D-2-lymphadenectomy without an increase in m orbidity or hospital lethality. The results from Japanese researchers could not be reached.
