Prognostic value of selected platelet parameters of patients operated for non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: Platelets play a vital role in the neoplastic process. Platelet parameters are hence an important source of information concerning ongoing neoplastic disease. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of selected platelet parameters on the survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte, platelet-to-lymphocyte and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio ratios in patients operated on due to non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: The aim of the study was to determine a prognostic value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and the lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) ratios for survival of patients, operated on due to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: The study was conducted on 532 patients, operated on due to NSCLC, in stages IA-IIIA. A total of 174 females and 358 males, aged 36-84 years (the mean age: 63.

Five-year survival analysis and prognostic factors in patients operated on for non-small cell lung cancer with N2 disease.

Background: The aim of the study is to analyse 5-year survival and prognostic factors in patients operated due to lung cancer with postoperatively confirmed metastases to N2 group nodes.

Methods: In the years 2007-2015, 1,148 patients with lung cancer were treated surgically. A postoperative histopathological study confirmed N2 feature in 150 patients.

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura - analysis of 18 cases.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTP) are primary tumors arising from mesenchymal cells. Immunohistochemical studies have demonstrated that the origin of these tumors is mesenchymal rather than mesothelial. The aim of this study is to present our experience with diagnosing and treating patients with SFTP.

Penetrating neck traumas.

Aim Of The Study: Aim of the study is to present our own experiences in the treatment of people suffering from penetrating neck traumas.

Material And Methods: In the years 1996-2012, 10 patients with penetrating neck traumas were treated, including 3 women and 7 men. The patients' age ranged from 16 to 55 (the average age being 40.
