On the contrary, the result of non-curative operation was extremely pessimistic. Recently great strides in the surgical outcome of gastric cancer have been achieved in combination with adjuvant therapy of immunochemotherapy. Improvement of surgical outcome is attributable to the standarized operative procedure with reasonable node dissection. It is common that carcinomas in various organs affect older patients, not usually younger ones. The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinicopathologic features of gastric cancer in younger patients on the basis of our result of clinical experience., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1993, 38(2-4), p.59-61}, pages = {59--61}, title = {Surgery for Gastric Cancer in Younger Patients}, volume = {38}, year = {1993} }
