Primary tracheal cancers account for 0.1-0.2% of the number of all malignant neoplasms, which was established by I.V. Davydovsky (1940). Cancer accounts for half of all tracheal tumors. The age of patients varies widely, but persons over 40 years of age prevail.

Splenogastrectomy with resection of the pancreas was performed in 111 patients with gastric cancer for appropriate indications. In 75 patients, this operation was combined with resection of other organs and anatomical structures. Complications after surgery were observed in 60 people. Postoperative mortality was 20.8%. Out of 76 patients after surgery, 15 people lived for 3 years or more, 6 - over 5 years.

One of the serious complications of esophageal diverticula is the development of cancer in it. In epiphrenal diverticula malignization is more frequent than in bifurcation diverticula. On the basis of statistical data analysis I.T. Shevchenko (1950) established that tumor in pulsatile diverticulum occurs in 1.2% of cases and in traction one - in 7.8%. In his opinion, one of the causes of esophageal tumor is a tractional diverticulum.
