Results of surgical treatment of 223 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (2000-2005) are presented. Postoperative complications rate was 25.6 +/- 2.5%, mortality--5.8 +/- 0.7%, overall survival--17.9 +/- 2.6%, median survival--12 months. Survival rates were higher following palliative treatment. Groups of patients in which RO resections failed to improve the end results were identified. That in turn calls for working out differentiated surgical strategies.
