Cancer of the Stomach — Prognosis, Independent of Therapy

  • Conference paper
Gastric Cancer

Abstract

The prognosis of the gastric carcinoma is given a 5-year survival rate. After a period of 5 years, the survival rate of people with and without cancer of the stomach is equal, so that this period of control is sufficient. The overall survival rate of the gastric carcinoma ranges from 1.4% to 27.7%, the mean value is 11.9%. The prognosis is influenced not only by the therapy, but also by many other factors, independent of therapy. These factors are properties of the tumor and the carrier of the tumor, and factors produced by an interaction between the tumor and its carrier.
