Bleeding is the most common complication of this disease – it accounts for about 60-70% of all urgent complications of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The incidence of stomach cancer in Ukraine is one of the highest among European countries, reaching 27.1 per 100 thousand population. Despite the introduction of endoscopic research methods, Early diagnosis of stomach cancer remains at a low level. In some patients, stomach cancer is asymptomatic, other patients are treated for a long time for peptic ulcer disease, which masks the malignant process. The topic is relevant and needs to be studied.
