To the distinctive recognition of stomach cancer and achyliae gaslriçae by Weinberg (Deut. Med. Woch .. 1921,. No. 29)

When carrying out a differential diagnosis between these two diseases, the blood test for lymphocytes does not have, according to Weinberg (Deut. Med. Woch .. 1921, no. 29), the significance that Moeves is trying to ascribe to it. True, according to Weinberg's observations, lymphopenia in stomach cancer occurs more often than in achilia gastrica, where, on the contrary, it is more often possible to ascertain lymphocytosis, but the difference here is not so great as to base the diagnosis on one attribute.
