Are importance-satisfaction discrepancies associated with health-related quality of life in five-year survivors of endocrine gastrointestinal tumours?

Additionally, giant gastric ulcers were associated with malignancy and H. pylori infection. Ulcer size did not predict rate of complications or outcome.
