Thus, Cubbins surgery can reduce the tumor, however, it does not always eliminate all cancer cells.

As a rule, the procedure is performed at the second stage of the oncological process, when the tumor has already spread beyond the stomach and reached the abducens organs or began to envelop neighboring organs.

The advantages of the Cubbins method are a higher chance of relapse and disease progression compared to more modern treatment methods. However, it is significantly more preferable than alternative methods of the same type of exposure, since it does not require transplantation and helps to more accurately localize areas of tumor growth and prevent the spread of inflammation to surrounding organs.
