From January 1992 to December 1995, 208 patients with adenocarcinoma of the stomach were admitted for surgical treatment; total gastrectomy was performed in 152 patients. Improvement of survival rates in comparison to earlier European studies could be obtained by radical resection and routinely performed D2-lymphadenectomy without an increase in morbidity or hospital lethality. The results from Japanese researchers could not be reached.
