Carcinoma of the Stomach

Walter Lawrence Jr. M.D.1

1 The American Cancer Society Professor of Clinical Oncology and Chairman, Division of Surgical Oncology, Medical College of Virginia (Health Sciences Division of Virginia Common-wealth University), Richmond, Virginia.

Two factors emerge from this unhappy series of statistics and comments. The first consideration is the emerging possibility that more favorable lesions, or even precancerous states, may be treated more vigorously as a result of improved diagnostic methods or increased diagnostic vigor. The second is the realization that we will continue to have a significant number of patients with gastric carcinoma who require thoughtful palliative management, certainly a larger group of patients than we can reasonably hope to "cure."
