Popis: In order to determine the prognostic significance of subserosal and serosal extent of cancer invasion in gastric cancer, 78 patients were reexamined histologically. In these patients curative resection was performed and cancer invaded the subserosal layer with growth pattern of infiltrating type i.e."*"(30 patients), or exposed outside the serosal surface i.e. "*" (48 patients). The significantly favourable prognosis was seen only in patients with ssr cancer being less than 1 cm in extent with a five-year survival rate of 92.3%, and in patients with small amount of cancer cells in the subserosal layer, having a five-year survival rate of 81.8%. In patients with se cancer the five-year survival rate was less favorable.
