Title: [Surgical treatment of scirrhous carcinoma of the stomach]. Author: Iwanaga T, Imaoka S, Furukawa H, Hiratsuka M. Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 1986 Aug; 13(8):2512-9. PubMed ID: 3017227. Abstract: In surgical treatment of scirrhous gastric carcinoma, the important points are as follows: Extensive resection of the stomach should be performed. Left epigastric evisceration and extensive dissection of lymph nodes including the para-aortic nodes should be done for sufficient extirpation of the tissues around the stomach. Adjuvant therapy is recommended for intensive chemotherapy immediately after surgery and for postoperative long-term maintenance therapy. Development of a combined therapy which takes into account the characteristics of scirrhous gastric cancer is hoped for in the future.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
