[Prognosis of stomach cancer patients in the age of complex diagnostic methods].
A retrospective study was done in 1986-87 on the survival of patients with stomach cancer. Their disease was established with complete diagnostic methods between 1975-87. In 244 patients diagnosis had been set up more than five years before. The survival of these patients was 19.4%, i.e. 47 of them were alive five years after the diagnosis. Both operability and resectability improved when compared to the earlier results (between 1965-74.). The most favourable 5-year survival and resectability were found in patients with intestinal type cancer. Early cancer was 8.3% of total, however, when only those patients were taken into consideration who had been treated either surgically or underwent surgical or endoscopic polypectomy, the percentage markedly increased 22.7%. The survival of patients with early stomach cancer was excellent: 34/37 (91.9%). A significant decrease of the incidence of stomach cancer in the region so far could not be observed.
