Description
Summary:	The Authors highlight the efficacy of the Lauren's classification in 28 surgically treated gastric cancer patients. Lauren's classification allows a prognostic evaluation corresponding to the effective gastric cancer natural history. Present histo-morphological classification criteria appear not to coincide with the clinical evolution; as a matter of fact over- or understaging is possible in gastric cancer patients. 64,28% of the Lauren's classification intestinal type patients survive after a four year follow up vs. 42,85% of the diffuse type patients. The Authors discuss about new biomolecular knowledge in gastric cancer oncogenesis.
