[Chemotherapy of stomach cancer in an oncology office].

Up to date of the total number of gastric cancer patients, who referred to the polyclinic, only 13% were found to be curable, 27%--may be treated without any guarantee of success, while 60% of patients were incurable. Such patients were administered 5-fluorouracil under outpatient conditions. Totally, 38 patients were treated, 13 of them are now alive, 25--died. Our observations indicated that the treatment of patients in an oncological cabinet proves to be quite feasible, and the use of chemotherapy largely improve and prolong the survival of patients with far-advanced cancer.
