About this Agricultural and Biological Sciences article
THE TWO HISTOLOGICAL MAIN TYPES OF GASTRIC CARCINOMA: DIFFUSE AND SO-CALLED INTESTINAL-TYPE CARCINOMA: An Attempt at a Histo-Clinical Classification by PEKKA LAURÉN is a Agricultural and Biological Sciences article available to read on EtoBox.
The histological classification of gastric carcinomas is difficult as these tumours appear to he very varying structurally. This has led to considerable confusion in the histological terminology of gastric cancer. Moreover, the descriptive histological types such as adenocarcinoma, papillary, solid, scirrhous and colloid carcinoma appear to show a fairly poor correlation with the other features of the disease. The significance of histological classification was denied completely by Slont (1953) and Ackaman & del Regalo (1962) who advanced the view that the histological structure of gastric carcinoma shows arbitrary 'differences in the various parts of the tumour. But the necessity of defining the histological basic types associated with the other features of gastric carcinomas has also been emphasized (Schindler 1941, Hamper[ 1956, conclusions of the Symposium on the GcO[Jraphical Pallwlogy of Gastro-intestinal Cancer 1961). As gastric carcinoma obviously may he preceded by different pathological changes in the mucosa, and as the gastric mucosa is composed of many different cell types, there is reason to assume that the group of gastric carcinomas also includes forms with specific
