[Combined intravenous and epidural anesthesia in laparoscopic surgery].

Two methods of anesthesia (total intravenous and combined intravenous + epidural) are compared in patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with grave concomitant diseases of the circulatory and respiratory systems. Combined anesthesia should be preferred in this category of patients.

[Diagnosis and treatment of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma].

Eight cases of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (3 males and 5 females aged 15-65) are described. Morphological examination revealed in all cases biphasal tumor consisting of the chondroid tissue of varying maturity and undifferentiated tissue. Combination and complex treatment was given to 6 patients.

[Pathomorphosis of cancer of the breast during thermoradiotherapy].

Local UHF-hyperthermia in combined therapy of breast cancer patients as compared to preoperative radiotherapy used alone, resulted in more noticeable therapeutic changes in a tumor. This fact was established during a study of tumor pathomorphosis in 206 patients with stage II breast cancer. A degree of therapeutic tumor pathomorphosis showed good correlation with the frequency and duration of a recurrence-free period of disease.

[Intracavity gamma therapy of microcarcinoma of the cervix uteri].

The results of therapy of 2 groups of patients with microinvasive cervical carcinoma were analyzed. Intracavitary gamma-beam therapy at single doses of 5 and 10 Gy and cumulative doses of 40 and 30 Gy, respectively, with the Agat-B remote loading unit was applied to 95 patients (the 1st group). Wertheim's operation (radical hysterectomy) was performed on 62 patients (the 2nd group).
