Gastric cancer is one of the most common neoplasms in the world. The morbidity and mortality rates of this pathology in the Republic of Belarus are high. This is often associated with late case detection due to the absence of clinical manifestations. Recurrent thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery branches may be the only clinical manifestation in patients with malignant tumors. This necessitates cancer screening on patients with thrombosis of unknown etiology.
