Superficial spreading carcinoma of the stomach represents an unusual form of invasive gastric cancer with its predominant pattern of growth limited to the mucosa. Surrounding non-neoplastic changes within the submucosa and muscularis mucosae often make it appear more ominous and extensive roentgenographically. Our current series includes 27 cases with a 66 per cent 5 year survival. A reappraisal of 13 of the original Golden and Stout4 cases showed a 5 year survival of 69 per cent and 46 per cent at 10 years.
