Sub­types have been described related to differentia­tion and characteristics of growth and spread: the intestinal type (resembling colonic carcinoma) has a better prognosis that the diffuse type; the expanding type (cells maintaining a close rela­tionship) has a better prognosis than the infiltra­tive type. The tumors are most frequently found in the distal third of the stomach and may be ex­ophytic (with or without a stalk), diffusely infil­trative throughout the stomach (sometimes termed linitis plastica), or ulcerated.
