An article presents an analysis of treatment of 113 patients (aged from 60 to 91 years old) with stomach cancer. On this basis, an algorithm of examination of given age group was developed. Preoperative diagnostics wasn't directed only to an establishment of prevalence, a stage of main process. At the same time, it was aimed to determination and correction of accompanying somatic pathology, which required an application of multidisciplinary approach. An echocardiography was used for a functional condition assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The strategy allowed the indication rise for operation up to 96.5% in given group of patients.
