The investigation involved patients after radical surgical procedure (in 52 patients, that is 83.9% subtotal gastrectomy and in 10 patients, that is 16.1% total gastrectomy were performed) in which at least one risk factor was confirmed: flow of serosa or surrounding tissues, presence of metastasis in regional lymph nodes or lack of microscopic radicality in the line of cut. 17 patients (27.4%) made up group A (subject to observation), 30 (48.4%) – group B (subject to chemotherapy: according to FAM or FAMtx) whereas 15 (24.2%) – group C (subject to chemoradiotherapy according to the following regime: 1 cycle of FAM chemotherapy then irradiation in conditions of therapy Co60 in dose 45 Gy onto tumor bed and regional lymphatic site and after its end additional 5 cycles of chemotherapy according to FAM). The period of observation carried out was a minimum of 5 years. 5-year overall survival in group A was 35.3%, in group B – 26.7% and in group C – 26.7%. The average time of overall survival in group A was 33.2 months, in group B – 28.8 months and in group C – 31.1 months. Statistical differences were not significant (p=0.7213). 5-year asymptomatic survival in group A was 35.3%, in group B – 23.3% and in group C – 26.7%. The average time of asymptomatic survival in group A was 31.1 months, in group B – 24.9 months and in group C – 30.6 months. Statistical differences were not significant (p=0.2955). The percentage of failures in group A was 52.9%, in group B – 66.7% and in group C – 46.7%. The type of failures (local, distant or local + distant) did not essentially differ between groups. The depth of invasion (p=0.0162) and stage (p=0.0071) had a statistical impact on the time of overall and asymptomatic survival.
