Cardia Gastric Cancer in the Gastric Pouch 5  Years after Gastric Bypass: A Case Report

ConclusionsThis case report highlights the importance to have gastroscopy to observe the proximal small remnant stomach after RYGB in long-term follow-up. Attention must be paid when patients develop symptoms like abdominal pain or excessive weight loss after RYGB. For patients at high risk such as those who have a family history of gastric cancer or presenting abnormal levels of tumor markers should rather undergo Sleeve Gastrectomy plus Jejunojejunal Bypass (SGJB) instead of RYGB.
