The authors retrospectively analyse a group (1991-2000) of 129 patients with malignancies of the stomach operated at the Surgical Department of The District Hospital in Lucenec. The operated patients were: males 83 (64%), females 46 (36%), mean age--63.4 years. Elective operations were performed in 78.2% and acute operations in 21.8%. We were able to make resections in 90 (69.8%) patients and palliative operations in 39 (30.2%) patients. On the basis of histologic examinations-adenocarcinomas dominated (120 patients--93%).
