[Disorders of the hemostatic system in patients with disseminated stomach cancer]

An all-round study of hemostasis functioning conducted in 60 patients with gastric cancer established depletion of the compensatory potential of the fibrinolytic system of blood and antiaggregant capacity of the vascular system. This condition created the risk of thrombosis. Those at risk revealed thrombotic disorders in the deep veins of the legs in preoperative period, their frequency being in correlation with the stage of tumor (stage III-28.8 and stage IV-81.8%).
