Abstract
Perforation of the stomach is the most uncommon complication of cancer of the stomach and was found in 9 of 1,620 patients treated over a 23-year period. The 5-year survival rate of 62.8% indicates that aggressive surgical treatment should be applied where possible. In some patients, radical resection is performed as a second procedure after recovery from the acute episode of perforation.Keywords
