The aim of this work was to determine the 5 and 12 years survival of 233 patients with gastric cancer subjected to subtotal gastrectomy. Patients with early gastric cancer (n = 51) had a 95% survival and those with intermediate cancer (n = 19) a 87% survival. Patients with advanced gastric cancer (n = 163) subjected to curative surgery had a 60% survival, whereas none subjected to palliative surgery survived. Those patients that survive more than 24 months after the surgical procedure, have an excellent long term prognosis.
