Abstract
In three patients with active duodenal ulcer, carcinoma of the stomach was detected early during routine endoscopic examination. In all patients subtotal gastrectomy was performed, and pathological examination of the resected stomach revealed carcinoma confined to the mucosa. We review evidence for and against any association between gastric carcinoma and peptic ulcer disease.Keywords
