Results: A significant increase in the frequeney of the diffuse type of gastric cancer was observed in the seeond period in study, with a concomitant deerease of the intestinal type. A reduction in tumor size and number of excised lymph nodes was also observed. Conclusions: In the seeond study period, morphological changes in gastric cancer, were observed.
