title: [Characteristics of tumor growth in patients with locally-advanced gastric cancer].
abstract: Locally-advanced gastric cancer features predominance of prognostically unfavorable histological patterns (infiltrative growth--in 87.9%, tumor grades II-IV--69.5%). Tumor invasion into two adjacent organs or more frequently occurs in totally-involved stomach (65.2+/-9.7%), poorly-differentiated (grade Ill) tumors (44.9+/-4.5%) under-differentiated ones (grade IV) (45.9+/-8.2%). Invasion into one adjacent organ is significantly predominant (p<or=0.05) in tumor localized in the upper third of the stomach (66.2+/-5.4%); exophytic tumor growth (Borrmann I) (100%) and well- differentiated (grade I)--(66.7+/-21.3%).
