To evaluate its efficacy, from 1985, we conducted a prospective study including non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma treated by surgery, IORT (15 Grays) and postoperative external beam radiotherapy (44 Grays). Up to 1993, 51 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma (20 pN0 and 31 pN1-2) have been included in the study. Mortality and morbidity rates were not different from those of surgery alone. The overall 5 year survival rate was 59.1 %, and the pN1N2 5 year survival rate was 50.6'70. These promising results are comparable with those of Asian randomized studies which demonstrate the possible value of IORT in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma. }, URL = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1313-en.html}, eprint = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1313-en.pdf}, journal = {Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic Of Iran}, doi = {}, year = {1995} }
