Advanced stomach cancer surgery with complications

Advanced stomach cancer surgery with complications

In terms of the incidence of malignant neoplasms in Poland, gastric cancer is ranked 5th in men and 9th in women. Poland is one of the countries with an average incidence rate, however, nearly 90\% of cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, which is due, among other things, to the uncharacteristic symptomatology resembling other stomach conditions - peptic ulcer disease or gastritis. In Poland, early gastric cancer is diagnosed in only 4.5-7% of cases. The 5-year survival rate for all stages is about 10-25\%, with a survival rate of nearly 90\% in early cancer. Among the malignancies found in the stomach, 95\% are adenocarcinomas - adenocarcinomas, while the remaining 5% are lymphomas, sarcomas, carcinomas and stromal tumors.

Intestinal tract obstruction caused by an inflammatory tumor in the course of tuberculosis

Intestinal tract obstruction caused by an inflammatory tumor in the course of tuberculosis

Gastrointestinal tuberculosis was common in the period before the introduction of effective anti-tuberculosis treatment. It occurred in 1/4 of patients with advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. It is now rare in developed countries. In the gastrointestinal tract, intestinal tuberculosis manifests as infiltrates and ulcerations in the intestinal wall, most often in the cecum region. Among the symptoms of intestinal tuberculosis are severe abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, fever, diarrhea, painful stool pushing, pain on defecation. In some cases, there may be obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract due to inflammatory tuberculous tumor.
