[Complex preoperative diagnosis of the dissemination of stomach cancer to abdominal and retroperitoneal organs and tissues].

An analysis of 136 cases of stomach cancer led to the determination of the role and place of gamma-topography, echography, computerized x-ray tomography, angiography and laparoscopy in specified preoperative diagnosis of extra-organ spreading of primary tumors. The informative value and shortcomings of certain methods were shown. A high accuracy of the entire set of diagnostic procedures (94.8%) in the preoperative definition of stomach cancer involvement of the abdominal and retroperitoneal organs and tissues was emphasized.
