Keywords: early stomach cancer, endoscopic treatment
Abstarct: Objective – to study the nearest and long-term results of endoscopic treatment for early stomach cancer (ESC). Мaterial and methods. The results of endoscopic treatment for ESC in 128 patients were studied. The diagnosis was made by fibrogastroduodenoscopy (FGDS) in the combination with chromogastroscopy, narrow band imaging, high-magnification endoscopy, and the results of computer tomography. Results and discussion. Minimally invasive operations such as endoscopic resection of mucosal and submucosal dissections were performed in 128 patients with ESC. In the post-operative period the bleeding from the zone of endoscopic intervention was developed in 2 patients, perforation of stomach wall which required surgical intervention with general anaesthesia – in 2 patients after endoscopic submucosal dissection. Five-year survival rate in the examined group is amounting to 92,2 %, the causes of death – decompensation of concomitant diseases or presence of malignant tumor of other localization.
