Abstract

The present retrospective report presents a review of prognostic factors influencing the survival of 406 gastric cancer patients radically operated on in the Tartu Oncology Hospital, Estonia in 1978–1987. All patients underwent total (n = 170) or subtotal (n = 236) gastrectomies with extensive lymphadenec-tomy (260 R2- and 146 R3-resections) according to the General Rules for the Gastric Cancer Study in Surgery and Pathology established by the Japanese Research Society for Gastric Cancer, introduced in our hospital at the end of the 1970s and now used as the unavoidable procedure for curative gastric cancer surgery. The 30-day postoperative mortality was 5.9% and the overall 5-year survival 46.1%.
