The results of surgical treatment of 169 patients with R0 combined resections performed in the period from 2000 to 2005 due to advanced stomach cancer were analyzed. The postoperative morbidity rate was 31,4 ± 3,3%, postoperative mortality rate was- 7,1 ± 1,0%. The overall 5-year survival rate was 24,1 ± 3,1%, median of survival was 16 months. The categories of patients with R0 resections which have not improved the treatment long-term results were identified. This requires a differentiated surgical treatment for patients with advanced stomach cancer
