Abstract
A follow-up study of 1347 gastrectomized cases (93.3 per cent of 1441 survivors of gastrectomy) revealed a 5 year survival rate of 26.8 per cent on an average, 30.8 per cent with subtotal gastrectomy and 10.4 per cent with proximal or total gastrectomy. The long-term as well as the immediate results of gastrectomy were found to have been much improved in recent years and the 5 year survival rate was as high as 37.9 per cent for those subjected to subtotal gastrectomy during the years 1956 to 1959.
