[The assesment of significance of the retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in proximity of metastatic tumor with main vessels in patients with germ cell testicular tumors].

The therapeutic approach should be defined more exactly in proximity of residual retroperitoneal metastases of germ cell testicular tumor and main vessels (left after chemotherapy). The data of 29 (24%) patients were analyzed over a period of time since 2003 till 2011.

[Resection of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava].

Experience in treatment of leiomyosarcoma of the retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava at any separately taken clinic is scarce. Given a rare nature of the pathology involved, whose diagnosis and management require joint participation of various-specialty physicians, we have considered it wise to present our own clinical case report.

[Surgical treatment of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava].

The presented review of the literature is generalization of the currently existing data of foreign and Russian literature concerning treatment of a rare non-organic retroperitoneal tumour from smooth-muscle tissue, i. e., leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava.

Technical peculiarities of surgical management for renal cell carcinoma complicated by thrombosis of the renal vein and inferior vena cava.

The capability of renal cell carcinoma for dissemination resulting in formation of a tumour thrombus in the renal vein and inferior vena cava is regarded as one of its clinical peculiarities. At the Departments of the Chelyabinsk Regional Clinical Oncological Dispensary over the period between early 2002 and January 2008 we primarily treated a total of nine hundred and forty-four 43-to-76-year-old (mean age 59.1 years) patients for renal cell carcinoma.
