In these patients curative resection was performed and cancer invaded the subserosal layer with growth pattern of infiltrating type i.e."*"(30 patients), or exposed outside the serosal surface i.e. "*" (48 patients). The significantly favourable prognosis was seen only in patients with ssr cancer being less than 1 cm in extent with a five-year survival rate of 92.3%, and in patients with small amount of cancer cells in the subserosal layer, having a five-year survival rate of 81.8%. In patients with se cancer the five-year survival rate was less favorable., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1989, 34(2-4), p.240-245}, pages = {240--245}, title = {The Prognostic Significance of Subserosal and Serosal Extent of Cancer Invasion in Gastric Cancer}, volume = {34}, year = {1989} }
