Popis: By using the principles of wide comparisons of the data of radiation diagnosis (routine X-ray study, ultrasonography (USG), CT, MRI) with the morphological findings of resected gastric specimens from patients with endophytic gastric cancer (EGC) (n = 85), the authors propose some points in the problem associated with its diagnosis. They believe that by taking into account the fact that there is an obvious growth of endophytic parietally growing gastric cancer with the concurrent reduction in its intestinal forms, it is necessary to restore current radiation to its leading place, along with endoscopy, in detecting the cancer. The authors makes a highly positive assessment of USG, CT, MRI in addition to routine X-ray study and endoscopy particularly in those cases when difficulties emerge in histological verification of the existing signs of parietally growing cancer. The paper makes indications for USG, CT, MRI concrete. The authors also show how to stage gastric cancer.
