Stomach cancer is a malignancy arising from the stomach mucous epithelium. It accounts for 95% of all stomach malignancy cancer. The prevalence of stomach cancer is high in China and the treatment is debated, especially regarding choice of chemotherapy and treatment duration. In order to identify the best treatment and follow-up for patient with stage T2N0M0 stomach sinus cancer, we searched MEDLINE, SUMsearch, The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2004), Clinical Evidence (Issue 4, 2003) and CBMdisc (1981 to 2004). A total of 3 systematic reviews, 28 randomized controlled trails, 3 cohort studies and 3 observational studies were identified. We evaluated the quality of included studies.All studies were divided into 5 grades by the levels and grades of recommendation. We drew a conclusion by synthesizing the results of included studies: The primary treatment for the patient was surgery treatment including gastric deuto-total resection and D1 lymph node dissection. There was no evidence supporting chemotherapy use in either systematic or abdominal cavity after surgery. The survival rate was high in 5 years and 10 years, so the follow-up time should not be long and the follow-up infermission should not less than 1 year. Follow-up included the dynamic and delayed MR sequence with Gd-DTPA, the level of serum CA199, endoscope, and stool occult blood test.
