Abstract
Here we review epidemiological studies of the occurrence of gastric ca ncer in patients treated for peptic ulcer disease by partial gastrecto my, vagotomy or by medical treatment. Twenty or 30 years after partial gastrectomy, the relative risk of gastric cancer is about two- to fiv e-fold. It is uncertain whether peptic ulcer treatments, other than pa rtial gastrectomy, are associated with an increased risk of gastric ca ncer.
