Four hundred forty-two patients underwent gastrectomy for carcinoma of the stomach to determine the impact of various gastrectomy procedures on patients' prognosis, and to assess the phenotypes of lymphocytes before and after gastrectomy. During the 3-6 postoperative months, there were significant differences between patients who received total gastrectomy and subtotal gastrectomy as regards the CD4+/CD8+ ratio. The 10-year survival rates of patients who received a subtotal gastrectomy were significantly better than those of patients who underwent total gastrectomy. A Cox multivariate analysis revealed that the extent of resection was a significantly related to independent covariate with patient prognosis.
