Gastric Carcinoma/Classification, Diagnosis, and Therapy presents the most current perspective on gastric carcinoma, with particular emphasis on the surgical and chemotherapeutic modalities that offer hope for future treatment. The book discusses epidemiology, pathogenesis, and precancerous and clinical stage classification of the disease and provides valid practical guidelines for stage-specific diagnosis, therapy, and patient guidance. Topics explored include endoscopic criteria for premalignant lesions and early gastric carcinoma; clinical staging of gastric cancer by ultrasound, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance tomography; surgical treatment of carcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction; possibilities for palliative treatment in surgical practice for advanced tumors; adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer; and chemotherapy of advanced gastric carcinomas in elderly and high-risk patients.

Das vorliegende Buch behandelt das Thema der Physiologie und Pathophysiologie der Motilitatsvorgange im oberen Gastrointestinaltrakt sowie deren pharmakologische Beeinflussung - insbesondere auf Rezeptorebene - als Grundlage fur eine gezielte Differentialtherapie von Motilitatsstorungen. Ein besonderer Aspekt ergibt sich aus der Darstellung neuester Studienergebnisse, die fur die Behandlung der Refluxkrankheit der Speiserohre sowie fur das haufige Reizmagensyndrom klinisch relevant sind.
