Abstract
Carcinoma of the stomach is not considered a disease with a hopeless prognosis.
Great progress has been made in treating precursors of gastric cancer, including atrophic gastritis and polyps.
Patients with minor digestive symptoms, epigastric distress, anorexia and slight weight loss should be examined carefully to rule out the possibility of carcinoma.
Operation must be performed early in the course of the disease.
Present-day radical procedures include a wide excision, with removal of the omentum and all avenues of spread.
