  • Title: [Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in local recurrence of stomach carcinoma].
    Author: Schumacher IK, Bernhardt J, Petermann J, Lorenz D.
    Journal: Langenbecks Arch Chir Suppl Kongressbd; 1998; 115():1373-6. PubMed ID: 9931886.
    Abstract:
    Despite clear margins at the time of resection, 7 to 20% of the patients experience local recurrence of the primary stomach tumor. Intraluminal recurrence is rare but curable in 50% of the cases without distant metastases. Extraluminal recurrent gastric cancer comprises the typical pattern of recurrence and cannot be removed in most of the patients. Predisposing factors that favor the development of recurrent tumors are: higher tumor stages, extended lymph node involvement, tumor grades 3 and 4, diffuse type according to Lauren's classification, and intraoperative perforation of the primary gastric carcinoma.
