During the five year period 1947-51 selected for our study, these tumors comprised 20 per cent of malignant tumors of thestomachfound at operation (national average, 2 to 3 per cent), and virtually half of those removed from thesmall intestine. As one would expect, they represent a very small percentage of malignant tumors encountered in the...Bibliography1.
