Popis: Gastric cancer is one of the most common diseases in patients over 70 years of age. It makes 14.4% of all malignant tumours, 15.7%--if oncohaematological cases are not included, and 19.8%--if oncohaematological cases and skin basaliomas are not considered. Most frequently the 1st stage of cancer was found in patients over 70 years of age (41.8%). The 4th stage of cancer is most commonly detected in patients of the oldest age group (34.5%). The program for early detection makes it possible to increase significantly timely diagnosis of gastric cancer (up to 80% in stages I and II). The screening program provides the detection of early stages of gastric cancer in 40.6% of the patients with the 1st stage of gastric cancer. 5-year survival is 30.2%, the corrected rate--40.3%. The rates of 5-year survival (both--observed and corrected) are the highest in patients with the 1st stage of the disease. The 5-year survival rate in patients aged 50-59 years is 65.5%; whereas in patients over 70--16.0% and 27.7% (observed and corrected, respectively).
