Abstract

At the present time no therapeutic procedures, not including radical surgical intervention, offer any chance of cure for patients with carcinoma of the stomach. The optimal surgical management of this disease is still subject to debate. Factors that may give hope for improved survival include early detection in high-risk groups, reducing the pathologic stage of the disease prior to surgery, and a more aggressive surgical attempt to widely excise the primary cancer. A third option for improved results include adjuvant therapies used prior to the surgical event or in the early postoperative period [1].
