Duodenogastric reflux has often been discussed as a causative factor in the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma. The author's clinical examinations of 135 patients with primary cancer of the stomach revealed slight increase in duodenogastric reflux. Yet, apart from these findings, no correlations were found to exist between reflux incidence and tumour localisation nor between histological tumour type and tumour size.
