Modifications to the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery technique reduce 1-year mortality and postoperative complications in intrathoracic tumors.

Objective: The purpose of the study is to analyze the immediate outcomes and results of video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and lung resection performed in the surgical department of the AOC between 2014 and 2018.

Methods: For the period from 2014 to 2018, 118 patients with peripheral lung cancer were operated on in the surgical department of the AOC. The following operations were performed: lobectomy in 92 cases (78%), of which: upper lobectomy, 44 (47.

Molecular genetic tests in survival factors in patients with NSCLC in the clinical practice of Kazakhstan.

Recent changes in understanding of the nature of cancer allow us, in some cases, to consider it a chronic process that requires constant or periodic treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the methods for diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the Republic of Kazakhstan and present scientifically proven methods for the improvement of existing diagnostic algorithms and treatment programs. This work was a retrospective study.

Approaches to the use of stem cells in regenerative medicine.

Purpose: The goal of regenerative medicine is to replace or restore missing, dysfunctional, or damaged cells, tissues and organs of a person to reproduce their normal function. The main approaches are cell therapy, tissue engineering, and gene therapy. Postnatal neural crest-derived multipotent stem cells (NC-MSC) are a promising cell type for use in regenerative medicine.
