Altogether 98 patients with chronic gastric ulcers were followed for many of years. There were more men which marks peptic ulcer including chronic ulcers under consideration. The men were of middle or elderly age, which is linked both with the development of peptic ulcer of the stomach at an older age and with specialized study of the subjects belonging to this age group. In the 48 patients, the ulcers did not heal from several months to 5 years, in 16 from 6 to 10 years, and in 9 over 10 years. Ulcers that do not heal for more than 6 months are regarded chronic. The so-called malignant ulcer is nothing but the existent cancer not recognized in time. Chronic ulcers may heal. The use of reparative agents in patients with such ulcers is ineffective. The healing of these ulcers without a cicatrice or cicatricial lesions is unstable. The surgical treatment of such patients is not a must, and the problem is to be decided with regard to the introduction of new efficacious antiulcerous agents, follow up of patients by a specialist and making gastroscopy with spot biopsy.
