Uterine fibroids are the most common solid tumours in the female pelvis. The purpose was to examine the long term results of treatment uterine myoma through combined therapy in 54 patients. To assess the reproductive health of patients with uterine fibroids after treatment included to use ana logues of gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH) with or without embolization of uterine artery(UAE) and myomectomies. . The introduction of gonadotrophinreleasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) has been found to be useful in the management of patients of reproductive age with uterine fibroids for minimization of risk of relapse.

Background. In destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in the presence of drug resistance of mycobacteria, one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of therapy is the use of collapse therapeutic techniques in various modifications. Purpose of the study: to develop and substantiate an algorithm for complex treatment of destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis, using artificial pneumothorax (AP). Material and methods: A cohort of 84 people with destructive pulmonary tuberculosis was formed. It was divided into two groups: 42 patients in the main group (chemotherapy (ChT) + AP) and 42 in the comparison group (ChT). Results: an algorithm for the treatment of patients with destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis was formulated. Within a period of up to 6 months, abacillation was achieved in 61.9% of cases in the main group (MG), and in 18.9% (p <0.05) in the comparison group (CG). By the 10th month of treatment, the closure of decay cavities was achieved in 78.7% of cases in the MG and in 42.8% (p <0.05) in the CG. By 12 months the closure of decay cavities was observed in 92.1 and 52.4% of cases respectively (p <0.05). Conclusions: The use of the algorithm for the complex treatment of destructive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis makes it possible to achieve abacillation at an earlier time (up to 6 months - in 61.9%). It also allows to increase the frequency of cavity closure by 39.6% as well as achieve an increase in clinical cure (according to long-term results of treatment) by 23.8% and a decrease in the amplification of drug resistance and mortality by 14.3% and 11.9% correspondingly.

Abstract BACKGROUND To improve the long-term results of complex treatment of patients with malignant gliomas MATERIAL AND METHODS The long-term results of treatment of 220 patients with malignant gliomas of supratentorial localization (anaplastic astrocytomas, glioblastomas, giant cell glioblastomas, gliosarcomas) were evaluated. Of these patients, in addition to standard treatment methods (surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy), 110 patients underwent specific antitumor immunotherapy. In 110 patients, only standard methods were used in the complex treatment structure. Follow-up results were considered follow-up data, and a relapse-free period was also evaluated. RESULTS The implementation of specific antitumor immunotherapy in patients with malignant gliomas was safe and did not lead to an increase in the number of complications compared with the control group. It was revealed that the use of immunotherapy based on autologous dendritic cells, in addition to standard methods of treating patients, increases the average life expectancy (in patients with anaplastic astrocytomas up to 40.5 months (p = 0.001), in patients with glioblastomas up to 21.8 months (p = 0.002)) and the value of the relapse-free period (in patients with anaplastic astrocytomas up to 17.4 months (p = 0.002), in patients with glioblastomas up to 14.3 months (p = 0.003)), provided that three or more courses are carried out. Conducting 1 or 2 courses of immunotherapy does not significantly affect the average life expectancy and median survival of patients. CONCLUSION The development and use in clinical practice of specific antitumor immunotherapy based on autologous dendritic cells seems to be a very promising direction for further research, the development of which will improve the long-term results of treatment of patients.

Purpose: To improve the results of treatment of secondary lymphatic edema in patients after complex treatment of breast cancer and to introduce a method of fluorescent lymphography to assess the stage of lymphedema. Materials and methods: The analysis of the results of examination and treatment of female patients with secondary lymphatic edema of the upper limbs, which appeared after the complex treatment of breast cancer in 2012-2016 was performed. To estimate the prevalence and stage of lymphatic edema all patients underwent fluorescent lymphography with indocyanine green. Based on fluorescent lymphography for each patient treatment algorithm was individually substantiated. Of 40 patients with secondary lymphatic edema 20 (50%) patients underwent surgical and 20 (50%) conservative treatment. The results were divided into early (up to 6 months) and long-term results (6-12 months). Results: In the early period after treatment (up to 6 months) the results of treatment in the surgical and conservative groups were comparable. Long-term results (6-12 months) were significantly higher in the group of patients after inguinal lymph node transplantation in combination with conservative methods than the isolated use of conservative methods. Conclusion: The method of fluorescent lymphography with indocyanine green is modern and accurate for the diagnosis of lymphatic edema. It allows determining the stage and prevalence of lymphatic edema. It is an indispensable tool for visualization of lymph nodes in the allocation of the inguinal lymphatic flap and postoperative control of the functional activity of the transplanted lymph nodes. The combination of lymph node transplant with conservative therapy gives better results than the isolated use of conservative methods.

The study objective is to assess long-term results of treatment for patients with locally advanced external ear skin cancer.Materials and methods. This research work based on a retrospective and prospective analysis case history for patients with locally advanced external ear skin cancer. These are 45 patients, who received treatment in surgical department of head and neck tumors in Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology between 1994 and 2020. Patient observation time averaged 30.0 ± 32.3 months (from 0.7 to 117.4 months, median 12.0 months). We divided patients into 3 groups depending on treatment methods. Group 1 consisted of patients who received combined or complex treatment (33.3 %, n = 15). Treatment for first group patients involved subtotal, lateral temporal bone resection or incomplete lateral resection and postoperative radiation therapy on the area of primary tumor and regional metastasis zone (total focal dose from 60 Gy). In the case of complex treatment, radiation therapy had carried out against background cisplatin introduction. The second group consisted of patients who received only surgical treatment (40.0 %, n = 18). Temporal bone resections were not performed for patients of the third group (26.7 %, n = 12). Treatment for patients of the third group involved one of the treatment methods: cryodestruction, laser destruction, photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy or chemoradiation treatment.Results. Five-year survival without signs of progression in a group of patients with locally advanced of the ear skin cancer, who received combined or complex treatment was 73.8 ± 13.1. Median progression-free survival not achieved. In the surgical treatment group 5 year progression-free survival was 40.4 ± 13.0, median was 34.1 months. In a group of patients who did not undergo temporal bone resection (3rd group) median progression-free survival was 4.5 months. Group differences are statistically significant (p <0.05). The most significant adverse prognosis factors that reduce overall survival for patients with locally advanced external ear skin cancer are positive histological margin (p = 0.0001, hazard ratio (HR) = 10.611, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 3.058-36.820), signs of destruction branch of the lower jaw/ zygomatic bone (p = 0.027, HR = 4.65, 95 % CI 1.193-18.116). Facial paralysis is the most unfavorable prognosis factor, reducing tumor-specific survival in patients with locally advanced outer ear skin cancer (p = 0.0001, HR = 19.146, 95 % CI 4.056-90.388).Conclusion. Combined/complex treatment of patients with locally advanced ear skin cancer (surgery with postoperative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy) provides better long-term results compared to other treatment options.

The article presents an analytical assessment of long-term postoperative consequences in women of reproductive age after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids. The aim of the study to determine the structure of long-term results of hysterectomy for uterine fibroids in women of reproductive age using different approaches to the possibility of optimizing the diagnostic algorithm in the preoperative period in the future. Materials and methods – 160 women aged 40 to 50 years with symptomatic uterine fibroids, who underwent hysterectomy performed by vaginal, laparoscopically assisted vaginal, abdominal, were examined. Research methods are the following: physical examination of patients, assessment of pelvic floor (cough test, Valsalva maneuver, “Stop Test” with Kegel cones), diagnosis of urogenital dysfunction using a standardized POP-Q system; instrumental examination:, complete urodynamic testing, cystometry, (for assessment of the severity of urinary incontinence the classification of the International Continence Society (ICS) was used); assessment of the patient’s quality of life on the 10th day after surgery, 3, 6, 12 months and three years after surgery using the international standard questionnaire MOS SF-36; study of the local infectious status of the female body (bacteriological and bacterioscopic examination of discharge from vagina and urethra, determination of vaginal pH Results and their discussion. The structure of distant postoperative manifestations was determined (after 36 months of postoperative monitoring): clinical manifestations of intestinal function discomfort in the same degree in patients of three subgroups, 2.4 and 2.9 times less often in group I patients indicated chronic pelvic pain, in 1.7 times less often - for genitourinary disorders, vaginal prolapse in a third of cases, especially in women with abdominal HE and classic vaginal HE (30.0±5.0 % and 37.8±5.0 %, respectively, against 17.8±4.0 % – in the group with laparotomically assisted HE). Conclusions. Given the data on genitourinary disorders and vaginal prolapse in almost a third of observations after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, it is advisable to consider additional examination of latent signs of genitourinary syndrome at the preoperative stage to optimize the choice of access, the volume of surgical treatment.

Medical, social and economic relevance of inflammatory diseases of the woman's reproductive organs requires a very careful attitude to the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The number of patients with genital infections and inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs can takes the first place in structure of gynecological morbidity, and is 60.4-65.0%, and this fact is not unique to Russia, but all over the world. Incidence rate of inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs in the first decade of the twenty-first century is increased at 1.4 times in patients who are from 18 to 24 years old and at 1.8 times in patients aged 25-29 years. At the same time, the cost of diagnosis and treatment has increased, reaching 50-60% of the total cost of providing gynecological care for population. The inflammatory diseases of pelvic organs are a collective concept. It includes of various nosological forms. There are numerous contradictions in the views on diagnostic approaches and treatment tactics, the nature of screening and control over the long-term results of treatment, the etiological and pathogenetic significance of various microorganisms found in the genital tract in patients with inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. Currently, there are many opinions among specialists about diagnostic approaches and treatment tactics, the type of screening and monitoring the long-term results of treatment, the etiological and pathogenetic role of various microorganisms which can be found in the genital tract in patients with inflammatory diseases. This review presents the results of a modern approach to the diagnosis, management and rehabilitation of patients with inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.
