[Immediate results of surgical treatment of gastric cancer complicated by anemia].

The immediate results of surgical treatment of gastric cancer complicated by anemia in 137 patients are presented. Resectability rate was 66.4%, total postoperative lethality--4.4%, incidence of postoperative complications--21.9%. In the process of preoperative preparation, correction of anemia was performed in 35% of the patients.
