The paper discusses the end results of combined treatment of stomach cancer (radical surgery plus pre- and intraoperative radiotherapy). A randomized evaluation showed that it might be used for loco-regional monitoring. Five-year rates and median of survival rose significantly, as compared with surgery alone, in tumor extension through the stomach wall (T3-4), metastatic dissemination to lymph nodes (N1-2), combinations of such pathologies as well as in cases of low-differentiated, undifferentiated and signet- cell cancer.
