    Abstract:
    Questions of occupational rehabilitation after radical surgery of patients suffering from cancer reach more and more consideration all over the world. To feel as a usefull member of human society is a very important fact for patients operated radically. Stomach cancer is one of the most frequent localisations in the USSR. Respecting the frequency of invalidity this cancer pretends the second place among these diseases. The report is based on a total 249 cases. The total was divided in three groups: in the first were 113 patients working physically, in the second were 64 brainworkers and in the third 72 people, working not in time before operation. Results are showing, that in average three years are necessary for the rehabilitation of physical workers: 26.3% were working at the same place as before, 19% have gotten an easier workingplace and 54.7% were not a work, but 14.7% of them had an old-age pension. These proportions were the same later og at the same place as before. This leads to the recommendation to perform rehabilitation very individually in physical workers, but brainworkers should start working in the first year after operation without restriction.
