The Authors report two cases with local recurrence after partial gastrectomy for advanced gastric carcinoma. The Authors suggest that chemo and/or radiotherapy associated with surgical treatment can improve the prognosis in some patients with recurrence. Response to chemotherapy and time elapsing before recurrence appears may select this group of patients.
