Abstract:
The analysis included 80 patients (48 men and 32 women) aged 65 to 87 years, treated because of cancer of the stomach (34 causes) or of the large bowel (46 causes). In all the patients as well as in a control group made up of persons who were treated because of non-neoplastic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract the determinations were conducted of selected coagulological parameters: fibrinogen and D-dimer concentration, antithrombin III (AT III) activity, kaolin-cephalin index (APTT), prothrombin (PT), thrombin time (TT) and number of thrombocytes in the blood. The analysis of the results obtained showed that hemostasis disturbances of a chronic DIC character occur in 82.5% of persons of an advanced age ill with a cancer of the stomach or of the large bowel.
