[The current method of staging gastrointestinal (GIT) tumors].
The authors analyzed in a retrospective study the stage of carcinomas of the stomach and colorectum in their material. In 1996-1998 they operated 35 patients with gastric tumours and 77 patients with colorectal cancer. In both groups they operated more than 50% of the patients in the IIIrd or more advanced stage of the disease. 22.8% gastric tumours and 19.5% colorectal tumours were operated in the acute stage. The situation in the group is alarming, it is essential to improve the early diagnosis and thus also treatment in all links of the chain: patient--attending physician--surgeon--society.
