Abstract | BACKGROUND: Postoperative survival in patients with scirrhous gastric carcinoma is poorer than that in patients with other gastric carcinomas. METHODS: We retrospectively examined outcome in patients with scirrhous gastric carcinoma who underwent gastrectomy to determine how to increase postoperative survival. Postoperative survival in patients with scirrhous gastric carcinoma was compared with that in patients having other gastric cancers overall and by disease stage. Prognostic factors were examined for all patients including those with stage III disease. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
