[Results of surgical treatment of locally-spread colorectal cancer].

During the period from 2001 to 2005 operations were performed on 186 patients with locally-spread colorectal cancer. In 132 cases (the 1st group) radical combined resections were performed, 54 patients (the 2nd group) underwent palliative operations. The morbidity rate was 18.

[Extended preoperative course of radiotherapy as component of combined and complex treatment of locally-advanced ampular rectal cancer].

Sixty-two patients were treated for locally-advanced ampular rectal cancer at the Center's Clinic (2004-2008). Extended preoperative course of radiotherapy plus 5 = fluorouracil chemomodification was given to 55 patients (group 1) and the same plus hyperthermia--to 27 (group 2). Radiation injuries were reported in 37.

[Expanded D2 lymphodissection in combined treatment of gastric cancer: unification of treatment approaches].

The authors present an analysis of results of using D2 operations in combined treatment of gastric cancer. Such volumes of operations combined with preoperative irradiation are not followed by greater number of complications and lethality. The incidence of progressing in terms more than a year proved to be considerably lower in the group of patients with combined treatment with D2 lymphodissection than in the groups without lymphodissection and preoperative radiation therapy.
