[Validation of spleen-saving operations and spleen re-plantation in surgical treatment of stomach cancer].

The report presents an evaluation of the surgery given to 587 stomach cancer patients at the Republican Oncological Dispensary (1995-2005). There were 2 groups--surgery for tumor combined with lymph dissection D2 and cytoreduction (R1 and R2), on the one hand, and controls (standard, palliative and diagnostic operations), on the other.
