[Analysis of stage IV stomach cancer diagnostic and treatment results in permanently followed-up group of population].
982 case records of the patients with cancer of the stomach (CS) were analyzed for the period from 1980 to 1997. Among them tumor of stage IV made up 21.1% (autopsy data were not taken into account). The main cause of late CS diagnosis was defective system of screening for CS. The survival rate of the patients with CS stage IV did not exceed 2 years. Chemotherapy in inoperable patients allowed a reliable increase of 7% to 26% in corrected survival rate during one year. Palliative operations increase the values of 1 year survival rate of patients with CS from 5% to 60%.
