[End-results of resection for distal gastric cancer]

End-results of surgery for stomach cancer conducted at the Institute Clinic have been evaluated. In 1982-2002, 260 patients with gastrointestinal tumors underwent subtotal distal resection of the stomach (Billroth-1) and another 220--Billroth-2. Functional outcome was assessed in 122 (46.9%) (Billroth-1) and 78 (Billroth-2). The end-results appeared to be identical: 5- and 10-year survival rate after Billroth-1 was 65.1 and 24.7%, and Billroth-2--63.4 and 27.1%, respectively.
