Abstract

On the evidence of 24 cases of cancer of the gastric stump the authors discuss the real incidence of this dread complication; they conclude that starting 8 years after primary surgery, all patients carrying a gastric stump must be regarded as high-risk subjects for malignancy; further, they recommend that pyloro-gastrectomy after Billroth (II) be considered for execution in young patients with all possible reluctance.
