Interval distribution of RGC according to diverse factors. Occurrence pattern and interval of RGC are affected by precancerous and environmental factors. These mechanisms of carcinogenesis are also affected by primary disease, previous reconstruction method, and size of remnant stomach. RGC, remnant gastric cancer; RGC-B, RGC after benign disease; RGC-M, RGC after gastric cancer; RGC-B I, RGC after Billroth I reconstruction; RGC-B II, RGC after Billroth II reconstruction
