Sentinel lymph node biopsy in cutaneous melanoma results of a single-center analysis
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in cutaneous melanoma is a staging step in cases of unaffected regional lymph nodes. This method is included in routine practice in many medical facilities of the Russian Federation. To analyze the results of SLNB in cutaneous melanoma performed using gamma scintigraphy technique with the 99mTc- containing technefit radiopharmaceutical agent. The prospective study included 97 patients (39.2 % (38/97) men and 60.8 % (59/97) women) with primary cutaneous melanoma who received surgical treatment at the Republican Clinical Oncological Dispensary (Ufa) between F

Breast cancer is one of the most significant problems in oncology. This pathology is characterized by increased risk of fractures associated with postmenopausal decrease in bone mineral density, use of hormone therapy, and presence of osteolytic metastases in the spine. All these factors can cause non-traumatic spine fractures decreasing patient mobility and leading to permanent pain syndrome and neurologic deficit. The article presents the modern view on the osteoporosis problem and risk of non-traumatic spine fractures in patients with breast cancer and spine metastases. Literature data o

Quality of life of patients with orthopedic oncological pathology is one of the most important indicators of therapy and rehabilitation effectiveness, a parameter important for establishment of comprehensive approach involving teamwork from doctors and psychologists. Currently, there are many instruments for quality of life evaluation in patients with various chronic diseases including oncological but a specialized questionnaire for patients with pelvic bone tumors does not exist. Nonetheless, characteristics of quality of life of patients with this pathology should be considered for optima

In intralesional resection of giant cell tumors, local recurrence rate can be as high as 60–65 %. Some authors attribute recurrences to the presence of an extraosseus component and pathologic fractures, others focus on the effective- ness of bone cavity processing. Currently, denosumab is widely used in treatment of giant cell tumors of the bone. Most frequently, it is used in neoadjuvant regimen at dose 120 mg. This regimen allows to decrease the volume of extraosseous tumor component, form bone margins, and, as a result, make radical resection easier. However, the number of publicat

The article presents a clinical case of successful surgical treatment of primary chondrosarcoma of the right ilium affecting the acetabulum and hip joint with acetabulum endoprosthesis. Rehabilitation measures aimed at restoration of the affected limb function are also described. After these measures, the patient demonstrated excellent functional results (93.3 % per the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society Score). Recurrence-free period was 49 months. In modern orthopedic oncology, many techniques of organ-preserving surgical treatment in patients with tumors of the periacetabular area with subseq
