Cancer of the gastric stump

28,500 fiberoptic endoscopies were reviewed. 97 cancers of the stump were found in 1,119 patients who had had gastric resection (8.66%), in contrast to the 3.9% of cancers found in nonoperated patients. This suggests that the gastric remnant has a higher tendency to develop cancer than the nonresect...

More Information
Summary:28,500 fiberoptic endoscopies were reviewed. 97 cancers of the stump were found in 1,119 patients who had had gastric resection (8.66%), in contrast to the 3.9% of cancers found in nonoperated patients. This suggests that the gastric remnant has a higher tendency to develop cancer than the nonresected stomach. A policy of periodic follow-up of these patients must be considered in order to detect the tumor at an early stage.
