| Summary: | The purpose of the research was to study physical health of patients with gastric cancer, the identification of markerspredictors of gastric cancer.Material and methods. This article presents the results of a survey with 150 patients diagnosed with stomach cancer. The research was conducted on the basis of the department of oncoabdominal surgery of Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Oncological Hospital named after A.I. Kryzhanovskiy in the period from 2016 to 2017. Patients with established gastric cancer, awaiting for surgical treatment, were examined using anthropometric methods of research. We evaluated the physical status of patients of different age diagnosed with stomach cancer. We also calculated body mass index and Tanner’s index of sexual dimorphism (1968), according to the last we determined the type of gender dimorphism. Distribution of healthy men and women in the population of the Krasnoyarsk Territory was taken for comparison.Results. We have obtained the following markers: overweight and obesity, sex inversion in men of the II period of adulthood and the elderly to gynecomorphy, and in women of the II period of adulthood – to mesomorphy.Conclusions. These markers are used for assessment of the physical status of patients with stomach cancer. They, together with the already known risk factors of gastric cancer development, will help to identify groups with an increased risk for gastric cancer development at the stage of medical examination of the population. |
