“…Peritoneal and distant metastases are found in a large percentage of patients with gastric cancer. In a series of 250 patients, Clarke et al identified liver metastases and peritoneal carcinomatosis in 40% and 17%, respectively [13]. Considering these clinicopathologic findings, it is clear that in a great number of patients, a curative resection at the time of diagnosis becomes impossible and palliation is the treatment of choice.…”

“…Hospital and in Controls* T h e relationship of stomach cancer to pernicious anemia has been well documented.27~32 I n a series of 250 patients with stomach cancer, unselected as to race, 6.8% of the patients had pernicious anemia at the time carcinoma of the stomach was diagnosed. 6 Shearman et al27 noted that among 35 consecutive cases of stomach cancer, 4 patients (1 1.4%) have been known to have pernicious anemia.…”

A retrospective study of 150 consecutive Negro patients with histologically confirmed gastric carcinoma seen at Howard University Hospital, Washington, DC, between 1960–1972 is described. The age and sex distribution of cases, histologic appearance of carcinoma, and operability rate were similar to series of predominantly Caucasian patients. However, 12 patients had coexistent peptic ulcer disease, 2 (1.33%) had an active duodenal ulcer; no patient had a history of pernicious anemia. In contrast to previous reports on blood groups and stomach cancer, blood group data revealed an excess of blood group B and a deficiency of blood group O, in Negro cancer patients (p > 0.01). According to the TNM staging system, 73% of Negro patients, and only 53% of control patients (a 79% Caucasian series) had Stage IV carcinoma (p > 0.005). Moreover, for any given stage of the disease, Negro patients had a shorter survival than Caucasians.

“…Several large studies of surgery for gastric cancer have documented the problems for surgeons. There is local or intra-abdominal recurrence in about one-half of cases after curative resection [5,6,7,8,9].…”
