Endoscopic Experience in the Diagnosis of Gastric Stump Cancer

Duodenogastric reflux and gastric stump carcinoma

“…Several reports have indicated that carcinoma occurred earlier after surgery for gastric ulcer than after surgery for duodenal ulcer [13,17]. The mucosa in gastric ulcer patients manifests a high degree of atrophic gastritis, in contrast to that in duodenal ulcer patients, and this might account for the earlier development of carcinoma in the gastric ulcer patients [13,18].…”

Endoscopic examination of the gastric remnant 31-39 years after subtotal gastrectomy for peptic ulcer.

“…5 9 We have found that gastric resection for gastric ulcer resulted in a significantly greater risk of stomach cancer than resection for duodenal ulcer and this was also the conclusion of Helsingen and Hillestad' and Giacosa et al 12 Others, however, have found no difference in the incidence of cancer in the gastric remnant after gastrectomy for duodenal or gastric ulcers. 9 10 We note that patients who underwent gastrectomy for duodenal ulcer (a condition with a low risk of associated gastric cancer) develop carcinomas in the 'gastric stump' at a similar time postoperatively to patients who had resections for gastric ulcer.…”
