Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine the 5 and 12 years survival of 2 33 patients with gastric cancer subjected to subtotal gastrectomy. Pat ients with early gastric cancer (n = 51) had a 95% survival and those with intermediate cancer (n = 19) a 87% survival. Patients with advanc ed gastric cancer (n = 163) subjected to curative surgery had a 60% su rvival, whereas none subjected to palliative surgery survived. Those p atients that survive more than 24 months after the surgical procedure, have an excellent long term prognosis.
