Abstract
- During the two year period from January 1985 to December 1986, 161 cases were confirmed as early gastriccancer by pathologic mapping at Seoul National University Hospital. Among them, the authors reviewed 104 cases ofearly gastric cancer for the evaluation of diagnostic value of double contrast upper gastrointestinal series.Early gastric cancer was most common in 5th and 6th decade(64%) and male ot female ratio was 2:1. Double contrastupper GI series could detect 97 out of 104 cases (93%). Among them, 62 cases were diagnosed as early gastriccancer, 32 as advanced gastric cancer and 3 as benign lesion. Detection rate according to the size was 100% inlesion larger than 2 cm and 87% in lesion smaller than 2cm. Predictability of early gastric cancer according tosize was 66% in lesion smaller than 3cm and 43% in lesion larger than 3cm. Detection rate according to thelocation of the tumor was almost similar between gastric body(94%) and antrum(93%), however 52% in gastric antrallesion and 44% in greater curvature lesion. Detection rate according to the type of macrospecimen was 100% in typeI, III and 99c+III. Type IIb showed the lowest detection rate (75%). Predictability of early gastric cancer washigh in type IIc (68%) and low in type I (20%).
