title: [Survival of stomach cancer patients (based on data from the All-Union Center for the Study of Treatment Effectiveness in Patients with Malignant Tumors)].
abstract: The dynamics of survival in gastric cancer patients treated at Soviet hospitals within 1974-1980 is discussed. Total five-year survival in those admitted to hospitals was 11% and relative one--13%; with regards to those discharged from hospitals, these indexes were 12 and 14%, respectively. Radical surgery alone (stages I-II) and in combination with radiotherapy (stage III) proved the most effective. Longer survival was registered in those patients with stage IV tumors who had undergone surgery followed by chemotherapy. On the whole, the effectiveness of treatment of gastric cancer patients admitted to Soviet hospitals was shown to be identical or even higher than in developed European countries and USA.
