PATOHISTOLOGICAL FINDING IN GASTRIC CANCER DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

The paper presents the investigation involving 70 patients with gastric cancer diagnosis pathohistologically verified. The aim of the paper was to establish the importance of gastroscopy as a reliable method for gastric cancer diagnosis as well as the importance of patohistological result (PH) for the localisation, and macroscopic result of the cancer and the outcome and survival time in these patients. The data are retrospective-prospective. The conclusions, besides the confirmation of the importance of gastroscopy, also represent the fact that intestinal cancer type has slower development and better prognosis – fiveyaer survival rate in 62%, while diffuse type metastasizes through lymphatic system with five-year survival rate in 5% in comparison to the early cancer in 92%.
