[Clinical-morphological parallels of malignant ovarian tumours].

The detection of the malignant ovarian tumor takes place at a later stage because of a symptomless process of the tumor formation at an earlier stage, hence leading to the delayed diagnostics and inefficient treatment. The objective of the research is the development of an efficient treatment of the malignant ovarian tumor patients, finding the most adequate methods and a delineation of the proper tactics for the achievement of the improved long-term results. We have studied the medical cards of the patients checked into A.

[Sentinel nodes identification efficacy prognostic criteria in breast cancer].

The sentinel node concept assumes that a malignancy that metastasizes by the lymphatic route will initially travel to one or a few lymph node(s). Although a tumor may disseminate to other nodes, it will remain in the sentinel node, and therefore the status of the entire basin is predicted by the sentinel node. The sentinel lymph node biopsy with total axillary dissection was performed on 99 patients.

[The microscopic diagnosis of different forms of mechanical asphyxia by the hemodynamic status].

Two types of mechanical asphyxia are analyzed, strangulation and obturation. Based on the hemodynamic status, the authors distinguished the venous and venoarterial variants. The venous variant was referred to the complete, and the venoarterial one to incomplete form of mechanical asphyxia.

[The criteria for choosing the extent of the resection of neighboring organs (structures) in lung cancer patients].

Clinical and morphological criteria for the extent of resection of the adjacent organs (structures) involved in the metastatic process were defined by analyzing 598 extensive, combined, and extensive-combined operations for giant-cell carcinoma of the lung. Morphological studies of the serial sections of resected intrathoracic structures showed that the true margins of the process extent do not always correspond to those determined on revision or palpation. It was indicated that for radical intervention, the pericardium should be resected at least at 2 cm from the visible invasion edges when a tumor is extended into it.
