A complex clinicomorphologic investigation of 136 gastric cancer cases has been done to reveal the applied character of P.Lauren's classification proposed in 1965 and extremely popular at present with an attempt to classify all the above cases into the so-called intestinal and diffuse-type gastric carcinoma. Significant number (37,5%) of heterogenous tumours with compound topographic and morphologic interrelation between glandular and diffuse compartments in the zones of cancerous transformation and progression has been revealed. This author's approach makes it necessary to improve well-known P.Lauren's classification.
