Abstract

Necropsy and surgical material (280 cases of gastric cancer) was studied. Histological types producing the largest number of metastases are revealed. Likewise a "border-line" involvement of regional lymph nodes is established in which distant metastasizing occurs in 100% of cases that is not dependent upon histologic type of tumour. Prognosis in such cases is unfavorable.
