title: [The advanced stomach cancer].
abstract: In the years 1993 to 1997, 106 patients with gastric carcinoma were treated. The age of patients ranged from 24 to 90 years. There were 73 males and 33 females. Variant advancement of gastric carcinoma was diagnosed in the patients: 29 had III grade and 77 IV grade according to TNM. The following resections of the stomach were performed: total in 38 (46%), subtotal or partial 45 (54%). While the remaining 23 patients had other operative procedures. The resection rate increased from 13% to 54%. Chemotherapy was also used. 53 patients died. The authors conclude that the increase in surgical radicalness and application of aggressive chemotherapy are the methods improving the results in gastric carcinoma.
