title: [The role of complex radio-endoscopic investigation in the diagnosis of precancerous changes in the gastric mucosa].
abstract: The study group included 200 patients, aged 24-70, with such precancerous lesions in gastric mucosa as epithelial dysplasia and intestinal metaplasia. The pathology was identified by roentgenoendoscopic examination of stomach wall lesions. Changes were followed up in 82 cases during periods of time ranging from 1 month to 5 years. Progression of dysplasia was registered in 20%, malignant conversion and cancer development occuring in 12% following moderate and grave dysplasia. A set of roentgeno-endoscopic signs of stomach wall lesions was identified, which provides efficient means for detection of said pathologies. Both morphological and roentgeno-endoscopic evidence should be considreed in identifying groups at risk. A time schedule is suggested for repeated examination during follow-up.
