[Possibilities of laparoscopic gastric resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors].

Possibilities of laparoscopic technologies application while surgical excision of gas- trointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) were analyzed. In 2000 - 2015 yrs in the clinic 28 patients were operated on for gastric GIST. In 10 of them laparoscopic gastric resec- tion with tumor (in 3 - the tumor excision in borders of nonaffected tissues, in 4 - gas- tric fundus resection or stapler resection of a great curvature together with tumor, in 3 - transgastric excision of the tumor, using staplers) surgery was done. The disease recurrence in 2-5 yrs follow-up was absent. Laparoscopic operations has advantage over open interventions while preserving oncological radicalism.

[Efficacy of miniinvasive methods of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, integrated in the endoscopic service organization].

The data, concerning the state of endoscopic service in Ukraine, were adduced. A modern approaches to the malignant tumors diagnosis, using high technologies, were depicted. There was summarized the experience of clinico-endoscopic peculiarities in studying of some malignant tumors forms and principles, constituting integral approach to treatment of such patients with participation of physicians-endoscopists and oncologists.

[The results of surgical treatment of early gastric cancer patients obtained based on early determination of local spread zones and regional lymphatic metastasis process].

Modern tendencies of surgical progress makes possible not only to improve technical aspects of operative interventions, but to determine their volume, the algorithms of preoperative diagnosis as well as to guarantee a high quality of life of the patients. Analysis of 559 retrospective and 64 prospectively followed-up patients, operated on for gastric cancer in early stages of the disease, was conducted. The factors were established, which impact trustworthy the survival indices in patients, suffering early gastric cancer.
