  • Title: [Multicentric early cancer of the stomach (author's transl)].
    Author: Feinauer B, Jacob H, Maier K.
    Journal: Z Gastroenterol; 1981 Feb; 19(2):68-76. PubMed ID: 7234021.
    Abstract:
    In more than 16000 gastroscopies we found 65 (0.4%) cases of early cancer (e.c.), that is an amount of 12.3% of the total diagnosed cancers of the stomach. In 8 patients we found two or three sites of involvement in the stomach (12.3%). The control reading of 53 gastrocamerafilms with e.c. shows, that 20% of suspicious areas have been missed by using the routine interpretation and gastroscopy. It is proposed, that before each stomach surgery for e.c., the upper gastric region be investigated carefully for missed second lesions. This is rather difficult with prograde optic gastroscops. The instrument of choice for that purpose is the gastrocamera.
