title: [Nutritional status in stomach cancer--a criterion for evaluating operability?].
abstract: The nutritional status of 41 male patients with carcinoma of the stomach was recorded, right after admission to hospital, and was related to tumour-specific operability. The nutritional condition of most of the patients was moderately impaired. Significant differences between operable and non-operable patients were recorded from the following parameters: upper-arm circumference, haemoglobin concentration, serum albumin, pseudocholinesterase, intradermal testing, E-rosette count. The findings thus obtained provided some limited information on operability.
