Features of Histological Forms of Tumor Growth in Patients Who Underwent Combined Surgery for Stomach Cancer

The morphological type of tumor is a crucial factor in selecting the type and volume of surgery.The objective of the research was to determine the effect of tumor histological type on survival rates in patients with locally advanced stomach cancer after combined surgery.Materials and methods. The study included 990 patients; there were 714 men and 276 women. All patients underwent combined surgery: distal subtotal gastric resection was performed in 222 cases; proximal subtotal gastric resection was used in 129 cases; gastrectomy was applied in 639 cases. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed using the SPSS 13.0 software program. The results were considered statistically significant at p 0.05), while significant differences were observed between patients (both men and women) with adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated adenogenic stomach cancer (p<0.05).
