AND CONCLUSIONS 1. Based on a study of 69 cases, cancers of the stomach are relatively limited in the distribution of métastases.2. Among the carcinomas, histologie groupings are of relatively little significance so far as the occurrence or distribution of métastases is concerned.3. Involvement of the peritoneum is relatively more frequent in the colloid carcinomas than in the other types, although the figures are too few to be statistically significant.4. If the regional lymph nodes, the peritoneum, and the liver are free from metastasis, the presence of metastasis elsewhere in the body is unlikely.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
