Progression and prognosis of gastric stump cancer.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The incidence of gastric stump cancer (GSC) is increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the clinicopathologic feature and the differences of surgical outcome between GSC after partial gastrectomy for benign ... Read more...

Clinical and histopathological features of remnant gastric cancers, after gastrectomy for synchronous multiple gastric cancers.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Remnant gastric cancers have been extensively investigated; however, little has been unveiled the features of remnant gastric cancers with regard to the existence of synchronous multiple lesions. We evaluated the clinicopathological ... Read more...
