Gastroenterological pathology is one of the most common pathologies both in children and adults of various age groups. Being able to suspect and timely establishing a preliminary diagnosis are a compulsory requirement for the work of a family physician.

Unfortunately, in this country, oncological diseases are seen to be increasing. Annually, 13 000 new cases of carcinoma of the stomach are diagnosed, among them 76% of patients die within the first year of the disease. In the majority of cases, carcinoma of the stomach is diagnosed in advanced stages, therefore it is very important to carry out primary and secondary stomach cancer prophylaxis.
