    The paper is concerned with the clinico-morphological analysis of the state of the art in diagnosing dysplasia and cancer of the stomach using gastric biopsy in a nononcological department of a regional hospital. Within three years, 13,459 gastroscopies were performed, 31.7% of them involving a biopsy. Cancer of the stomach was diagnosed in 87 patients including incipient form--in 8 (9.2%). Degree II-III dysplasia and alterations suspicious of cancer were identified in 49 while degree I-II dysplasia--in 180 cases. It is emphasized that patients with dysplasia including degree I-II lesions be followed using morphologic, endoscopic and clinical procedures.
