ABSTRACT

This publication provides an overview of the current state of the art in the use of stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with head and neck tumors. We have analyzed current trends, and also presented the features of radiobiology and the basic principles of radiation treatment. Special attention is paid to indications for SBRT, fractionation schemes and radiation planning. The use of SBRT for primary head and neck tumors, including boost, as well as relapses treatment are described. The results of the implementation of SBRT by various authors both as an independent option and in combination with drug therapy are presented. The efficacy and tolerance of radiation is described in a summary form with clarifying comments. The radiation therapy toxicity profile is detailed, including the main risk factors of postradiation complications.

Keywords: head – neck cancer, stereotactic body radion therapy, SBRT

ABSTRACT

High-grade gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumor in adults. A distinctive feature of malignant gliomas is their high aggressiveness, resistance to various types of treatment, and high recurrence rate. Depending on the grade of malignancy, a relapse can occur in months or years, however, it is inevitable for almost all patients with this type of tumor. Despite the improvement of treatment methods, the problem of recurrence of malignant brain gliomas remains relevant: reoperation is associated with the risk of developing severe neurological deficits, and previous chemotherapy often leads to severe hematological toxicity. Thus, re-irradiation is seen as an effective treatment option for tumor recurrence.

This review of the scientific literature examines various aspects of re-irradiation of high-grade gliomas, provides data on the features of diagnosis and treatment results in patients, as well as the frequency of complications.

Keywords: high-grade brain gliomas, recurrence, proton therapy, reirradiation

CONTENTS

The analysis of the results of conservative and palliative treatment of cancer patients with the use of loco-regional hyperthermia (LRHT) alone or in combination with various methods of anticancer therapy was carried out. The data obtained showed that LRHT significantly increases the immediate results of radiation and / or chemotherapy, has a pronounced palliative effect, and in some cases provides long-term local control. In incurable patients who have exhausted the "limit" of chemotherapy and / or radiation therapy, its use for palliative purposes is also possible in mono-mode.

Keywords: review, loco-regional hyperthermia, conservative therapy, palliative therapy, thermochemotherapy, thermoradiation therapy

ABSTRACT

The progressive prevalence, significant economic losses, the cost of compulsory health insurance and high-tech medical care have turned the problem of lumbar osteochondrosis into a socially significant issue. The relevance of this problem is dictated by the need to study the etiopathogenesis of the course of degenerative changes for an integrated approach when choosing an adequate treatment.

The progression of the pathological process in the spine significantly contributes to changes in the metabolism of connective tissue, which is closely associated with the violation of microelements.

Purpose: Evaluation of changes in the homeostasis of the intervertebral disc, in particular the study of the microelement composition of the intervertebral disc at various stages of development of hernias of the lumbar spine using instrumental neutron activation analysis.

Material and methods: The studied biomaterial was obtained intraoperatively, with traditional microdiscectomy in herniations of the spine at the level of VL3-4, VL4-5, VL5-S1. By the method of instrumental neutron activation analysis, a study of biomaterials, represented by tissue fragments of the remote part of the hernia of the intervertebral disc, located at different stages of the degenerative process, was carried out.

Results: The quantitative content of 22 macro- and microelements in the removed fragments was determined. As a result of the data obtained, it was found that in the tissues of the intervertebral discs, a gradual change in the content of a number of essential elements occurs, depending on the stage of development of the degeneration process.

Conclusion: Changes in the microelement composition indicate metabolic processes occurring in the intervertebral discs, and the relationship of the microelement composition of the disc tissue and the course of the degenerative process can be used to predict the condition of the patient and choose an adequate treatment.

Keywords: osteochondrosis, disc herniation, intervertebral discs, neutron activation analysis, microelements

ABCTRACT

An experience of successful treatment of giant lymphocele and related secondary complications, such as signs of hydronephrosis of both kidneys of a patient after Wertheim surgery in case of cervical disease before radiotherapy is described. A complex of ultrasound studies using 3 types of echographic picture of the lymphocele was applied, which made it possible to determine the rational management of the patient using the technique of invasive sonography. Ultrasound examination, on the 17th day after the operation, revealed lymphocele in the iliac regions (1450 ml on the right, 1290 ml on the left) and signs of hydronephrosis of both kidneys. Drains under the control of sonography in both the lymphatic cavity were set up. Signs of hydronephrosis of both kidneys ceased to be located on the 2nd day after the installation of drains. Drains were removed after 13 days. During further ultrasound examinations of the patient, the lymphocele and signs of hydronephrosis were not rendered. Ultrasound examinations were performed on the 3rd, 7th, 12th, 21st, 35th, 62nd, 145th day after drains were removed.
