Abstract   It ie still not clear whether palliative resection is necessary for far advanced gastric cancer. To prove this, we analyzed fifty-seven patients of stage four gastric cancer.who was treated in our hospital retrospectively. Thirty-seven patients were subtotaily gastrectomized, eight patients were totally gastrectomized and twelve patients were bypassed or explored only. Four variables; sex, age, types of operation and types of metastasis were tested in a univariate analysis using the log-rank test. In the result, the estimated survival rate is higher in subtotal gastrectomy group than non- resection group, although it was reduced in total gastrectomy grou p. Conclusively, we may say that palliative subtotal gastrectomy prolongs the survival duration.
