During 1968-1988 one endoscopist performed 3154 endoscopic examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract and detected 400 (13%) malignancies. Endoscopy was indicated in persisting dyspepsia or abnormal findings on X-ray examination of the stomach. In 242 patients earlier subjected to partial gastrectomy 7% stomach cancers were found. No difference existed in the incidence of stomach cancer between patients with either BI and BII gastrectomy. Initially no malignancy was detected in 9 (2.3%) patients. The maximum diagnostic delay was 5 months in these patients. This finding underlines the necessity of a strict follow-up scheme when studying malignancies.
