In a retrospective study comprising 88 patients operated upon with curative intent a number of histopathological parameters of possible prognostic value regarding local recurrence and long-time survival were analysed. Local recurrence within 5 years was found in 28 patients (32%) of which 17 (61%) were diagnosed within the first 2 years. Crude survival rates at 5 and 10 years were 25% and 15%. According to Laurén's classification the results indicated better, but not significant, 5- and 10-year survival for the diffuse type (36% vs 25%). The probability of 10-year survival suggested a better (P = 0.06) prognosis for tumours in the middle third of the stomach, and for patients operated with total gastrectomy (P = 0.025). The probability of recurrence in relation to lymph node involvement suggested a more favourable prognosis (P = 0.06) for patients without lymph node metastases, and in relation to tumour fibrosis a less favourable prognosis for pronounced fibrosis (P = 0.001).
