[Results of dynamic observation of patients with polyps in the stomach]
Abstract:
This work is based on the analysis of data doing 409 patients with polyps in the stomach. Among them 200 men (48.9%) and 209 women (51.1%) aged 18 to 91 years. The average age of men was 67.4 years, and women 66.8 years. All these patients were find 1034 neoplasms of various sizes. At all of this patients polyps were identified on a background of chronic gastritis, as a rule, has the character of atrophic process. Histological research was conducted 775 (74.6%) polyps, of which focal hyperplasia and hyperplastic polyps detected in 49% of cases, and adenomas in 51% (including adenomas with varying degrees of dyspiasia, and prostatic adenocarcinoma cells). Endoscopic polypectomy performed 367 patients, and the remaining 42 was merely the dynamic monitoring of the identified entities. In 79 (28.8%) patients after polypectomy noted relapse formations and in 10 cases (3.65%) diagnosed with cancer in the intervention area. 4 (0.98%) patients from 409 cancer in polyps detected during the initial survey and in 4 patients the cancer originated in the not associated with polyps of stomach. As a result of the research of the dependence of the size of neoplasms on the nature of destruction and histological structure. For most existing polyps characteristic of the stability of their morphological structure and the absence of its transformation.
