Carcinoma of the stomach--prognostic factors and current treatment.

Two-hundred-and-six cases of gastric carcinoma were analysed for survival on the basis of their clinical, endoscopic and operative findings. An attempt has been made to identify prognostic factors and the role of edoscopy. It is concluded that too much radical surgery is being performed in patients who can be recognised preoperatively as having obviously advanced disease.

How many endoscopic biopsy specimens?

In cases in which the endoscopist considers it necessary to attempt to confirm or exclude a diagnosis of carcinoma of the stomach or oesophagus by biopsy and histopathological examination, we find that a minimum of four fragments should be taken. Taking more than eight biopsy specimens appears to do little more than prolong the time taken for a highly skilled team to complete the operation.
