The preoperative incidence of lower limb venous thrombosis was studied in 108 gastric cancer patients. Thrombosis was established in 37% of cases. The disease lacked clinically apparent symptoms. Radionuclide phlebography proved to be of the highest diagnostic value as compared to radionuclide procedures using MAA-99mTc or fibrinogen-125I.
