26 patients with gastric stump cancer were treated by surgery plus chemotherapy or radiotherapy in our hospital from 1970 to 1992. 20 patients were qubiected to surgery plus chemotherapy 12 patients were operable six patients had simple radiotherapy. These patients were followed up to the end of 1992. Using Kaplan Meier method and log-rank test (P < 0.05), we analysed the factors effecting the survival rate and drew a conclusion that surgical treatment plus adjuvant chemotherapy is the treatment of choice, and if no-resection, we would treat it with chemotherapy rather than radiotherapy.
