[Morbidity of stomach cancer and its relapse in patients of different age]
Abstract:
Timely diagnostics and treatment of the stomach cancer and its relapse in patients of different age is one of the complex problems in geriatrics, surgery and oncology. The peculiarities of clinic course of stomach cancer and its relapse were analyzed in 600 histories. The study revealed the dependence on age of development of stomach cancer and its possible relapse; period of preoperative preparation and effectiveness of the treatment in dependence on the age of the patient. The results demonstrate that elderly and senile patients are of high risk to get the stomach cancer and its relapse; they also often have many complications of the disease. The disease is diagnosed at generalized stage in 70% of the cases; at the same time 52% of patients, especially elderly and senior ones, come to the hospital as first aid patients, which confirms the necessity to improve the methods of early diagnostic of the disease.
