Abstract:
In order to assess the prognostic value of some clinicopathological factors of Gastric Lymphoma the authors reviewed 37 consecutive cases observed between 1973 and 1985 with 48 months follow up at least. Age, sex, gross features, site, histological subtype, depth of gastric wall invasion, regional lymph nodes involvement weren't useful parameters. Notable difference exists in survival according to the treatment carried out (surgery and chemoradiotherapy 100% alive & well, surgery and chemotherapy 29% a&w, surgery 17% a&w). The authors compared inflammatory cell population reactive to neoplasm to survival as possible meaningful parameter.
