This paper is part of a comprehensive study on subphrenic digestive cancer carried out between 1984 and 1988, representing the experience of the III-rd, I-st, IV-th and emergency surgical clinics of Iaşi (1530 cases). The peculiarities of gastric cancer with antral site in 231 out of a total of 612 cases, representing the experience of the III-rd Surgical Clinic, are presented. Clinically, the relative early occurrence of the symptoms, the need for an endoscopic examination and biopsy for all gastric ulcer lesions, for the antral ones particularly, are mentioned. The treatment is surgical, but it has to be associated with adjuvant therapy. For the antral site, the oncological subtotal gastrectomy was the surgery of choice (157 cases), the need of restoring the transit in a gastrojejunal manner being underlined. Total gastrectomy was performed in 12 cases.
