Abstract     The objective of the study was to determine some of the populational, clinical, pathological and laboratory characteristics of disease in 34 patients with stomach stump cancer and to compare them with the results obtained in 71 patients with cancer of the unresected stomach. Because of the higher incidence of peptic ulcer in males, it was assumed that differences also exists in the incidence of stomach stump cancer between the two sexes. Since the anatomical and physiological properties of the stomach stump differ from those of the surgically untreated stomach, it was presumed that there are differences in the age of patients upon the appearance of cancer, differences in the frequency of symptoms, differences in blood groups, the red blood picture, laboratory findings, the spread of the disease and histological properties of tumors in patients with stomach stump cancer and cancer of the unresected stomach. The study showed that cancer of the stomach stump is 4,67 times more frequent and cancer of the unresected stomach 1,45 times more frequent in males than in females. The average age of patients with stomach stump cancer is 63,9 years and those with cancer of the unresected stomach 60,3 years. The average time interval between the first operation due to the benign process in the unresected stomach and appearance of stomach stump cancer is 25,3 years. The younger the patient being oparating on the stomach due to the benign process, the longer the period until the appearance of gastric stump cancer. The most frequent symptoms in patients with stomach stump cancer are loss of weight, pain and dysphagia. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
