CORRELATIVE ASPECTS REGARDING THE GASTRIC STUMP CANCER CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND IMAGISTIC STADIALIZATION
ORIGINAL ARTICLE
Abstract
The gastric stump cancer (GSC) is a last stage subdiagnosed or diagnosed pathologycally, when the therapeutic options are limited. The research that aimed the evaluation of patients with stomach surgical interventions related to the development of gastric stump neoplasias is based on a retrospective observational study of a group of 52 patients, institutionalized and diagnosed within the Gastroenterology and Hepatology Institute of Iasi between January 2004 and December 2015. In order to identify which of the clinical elements are most relevant in guiding the stage of the diagnosis, we considered it suitable, in the absence of a witness group, to realize correlations between the clinical elements and the stadialization of the imagistic quantified tumoral formation.
