Abstract:

We present some data on the dynamics and quantitative estimation of the dysplastic processes in the stomach mucosa at the intravein laser therapy. The group of patients observed in this study consisted of 96 persons with the chronic gastric ulcer and chronic atrophically-hyperplastic gastritis. In 74 patients we have revealed epithelium dysplasia of different severity. In this group of patients we have carried out quantitative cytometry that enabled us to reliably distinguish, by the indications studied, among the dysplasia of I, II, and III degrees. We have found from this study that the intravein laser therapy produces a pronounced effect on the stomach mucosa morphology. Thus, in 81.1% cases we have observed a complete regression of the Ist and IInd-degree dysplasia. In 13.5% patients a regression of the IInd and IIIrd-degree dysplasia to the Ist-degree one, and in 6.4% cases with the IIIrd-degree dysplasia the dysplastic process has been stabilized. The results obtained in this study are a good evidence of the intravein laser therapy efficiency in correcting precancer modifications of the stomach mucosa.
