title: [Cancer of the body of the stomach: comparison of results with surgical and combined therapy].
abstract: The immediate and end results of surgical and combined treatment of cancer of the body of the stomach have been evaluated. The combined therapy used intensive preoperative procedures. No significant differences in mortality and postoperative complication rates between combined treatment and surgery were reported. The joint use of preoperative irradiation and radical surgery was followed by better end results in therapy of such locally advanced malignancies as invasion through the stomach wall, metastases to the regional lymph nodes, stage III and infiltrative growth.
