[Malabsorption of vitamin B 12 after gastrectomy for cancer].

The authors, after a short introduction of physiopathology, report on 17 patients who underwent a total (10 cases) or a subtotal (7 cases) gastrectomy for cancer at various times and then submitted to hemochromocytometric test and Schilling test modified by Katz and Bell. On the bases of information given by the tests, some clinical and therapeutic considerations are made.

[Analysis of surgical treatment of 592 cases of cancer of the stomach].

A series of 592 cases of gastric carcinoma operated on between January 1960 and December 1974 at the S. Croce Hospital at Cuneo is reported. The following observations were made: greater frequency in males (68.25%). The following localizations: cardiac portion 31 cases; fundus 20; body 93 and antropyloric 249. Cancer ulcer in 5.06% of cases. Cancer on the gastric stump in ulcer resections in two cases. The following operations were performed: Gastric resection in 325 cases: operative mortality (O.M.) 5%; 5-year survival: 18%. Total gastrectomy in 38 cases: O.M. 13.1%; 2-year survival: 21%, 5-year survival 5.2%. E.A.G. in 61 cases; O.M. 17.8%; survival: 6 months; maximum 26 months. Gastrostomy in 16 cases; Expl. laparotomy in 150 cases. Survival was only a few months in these two latter groups. Out of all operations 5-year survival was 6.7% and 27.4% in so-called curative interventions. In principle, gastric resection is still considered to be the most valid approach.
