[Functional-morphocytochemical changes in the liver in cancer of organs in the pancreatoduodenal zone]. / Funktsional'no-morfotsitokhimicheskie izmeneniia pecheni pri rake organov pankreatoduodenal'noi zony

In 76 patients with cancer of the organs of the pancreatoduodenal zone the functional state of the liver and its morphocytochemical structure were studied during the operation and postoperatively. A considerable impairment of functional tests of the liver, its enzymic activity, mineral metabolism and the microelements content was revealed. Simultaneously with functional-enzymic disturbances in the liver also morphocytochemical changes were found to be pronounced.
