Normal stomach wall and gastric cancer: evaluation with high-resolution operative US

J Machi, J Takeda, B Sigel and T Kakegawa

Operative ultrasound examinations were performed using a 7.5-MHz transducer during nine operations for advanced gastric cancers and during six for early cancers. Normal stomach wall showed five layers that corresponded to histologic structures. Fourteen of 15 tumors, including nonpalpable early cancers, were localized with ultrasonography. In addition, both depth of penetration and lateral wall extension of the gastric cancers were precisely determined with this technique. Our preliminary results indicate that high-resolution operative ultrasonography may become a diagnostic aid during gastric cancer operations.
