    Abstract:
    The authors make a retrospective study of a series of 140 patients aged 59 years in average, followed up from 1995 to 2002 for adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Surgical resection was performed in 79 percent of the patients with total gastrectomy in 15.4%, partial gastrectomy in 50.6%. Resection was considered as curative in 66%. Lymph node metastases were present in 42, 9 percent of the patients. Margins of resection were involved in 24, 5% of the specimens. The mean survival rate was 26.5 months, 13 months and 5 months after curative resection, palliative resection and without resection.
