The purpose of the study was to analyze the incidence of primary-multiple cancer (PMC) of the female reproductive system according to the population cancer register of the Chelyabinsk region for 15 years (1999-2013) using the example of PMC of the cervix. Carry out an analysis of the adjusted cumulative survival in the group of patients with PMC of the cervix as compared with solitary cervical cancer.

Material and methods. The material was processed using the classification of Zisman I. F. and Kirichenko G. D. (1978) on the sequence of tumors: metachronous, synchronous, mechatronic-synchronous and synchronous-metachronous. The interval of metachronousness is 6 months. The survival rates of cancer patients in the Chelyabinsk region were calculated automatically with the use of the computer program "Calculation of survival rates" — an application to the population-based cancer registry of OOO Novell-SPb. Using the method of continuous sampling, we carried out a retrospective analysis of the case histories of patients with PMC of the female reproductive system treated in the SBEO CRCOD for 15 years (1999-2013).

Results. During the period under review, 82 patients with PMC of the cervix uteri were examined, metachronous tumors prevailed in 55 (67.1%), synchronous tumors developed in 27 (33.75%). In the group of metachronous tumors in 12 (21.8%) patients had a combination of three tumors. Three (5.45%) patients had a combination of four tumors. Analysis of combinations of cervical cancer showed that more often, the cervical cancer metachronically met with breast cancer 35% (14 patients), endometrial cancer 17.5% (7 patients), ovarian cancer 7.5% (3 patients). Synchronously cervical cancer was more often combined with breast cancer 42.8% (9 patients), endometrium 28.6% (6 patients), ovaries 23.8% (5 patients) and rectal cancer 4.8% (1 patient).

The results of calculation of the index of the adjusted cumulative survival of the study group of the PMC of the cervix showed that in the group of metachronous tumors, survival rates were significantly higher than in the group of synchronous tumors: single-year survival was 84.8 ± 6.3% against 82.4 ± 9.2, three-year survival — 66.8 ± 7.8% against 47, 1 ± 12.1, and five years after the diagnosis, 53.8 ± 8.6% of patients survived.

Conclusion. Thus, patients with cervical cancer are at risk of developing cancer of other localizations that share common etiopathogenetic factors, such as HPV infection in women, hormonal disorders.

In the structure of infertile marriage male factor of infertility occurs in about 40-50%. About 30% of infertile men who have sought medical care have oligozoospermia or azoospermia of unknown etiology. The question of the chances of spermatogenesis recovery and increased probability of sperm extraction in repeated assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs is important for both the doctor and the patient.

Purpose. To evaluate the morphological changes of spermatogenic epithelium in patients with male infertility in terms of prognosis of ART success.

Patients and methods. 264 men with infertility were examined. The scope of clinical study of all patients included: history, examination, determination of blood hormones, study of ejaculate, karyotype, ultrasound. We performed a biopsy of the testis according to the patient's symptoms. Testicular tissue was subjected to morphological examination.

Results. Primary infertility was observed in 172 men (65.2%), secondary — 92 (34.8%). 112 (42.4%) patients had severe infertility. The results of morphological studies in these men showed a different degree of violation of spermatogenesis. Based on the study, a diagnostic algorithm of patients with male infertility is proposed, which allows to predict the success of ART taking into account morphological changes in the testicle.

Conclusion. On the basis of clinical and morphological study of the features of spermatogenesis of a particular patient a plan can be made for further personal diagnostic and therapeutic measures.

Purpose of the study. The aim of this study is to improve the quality of emergency urological care for patients with scrotal and testicular trauma.

Patients and methods. The study is a comparison of the results of prospective (according to the algorithm) and retrospective fragments, including a total of 459 patients (414 retrospectively, 45 prospectively). Patients received inpatient urological care for traumatic damage to the scrotum and testicle in D. Pletnyov City Clinical Hospital Department of Health of Moscow, N. Lopatkin Scientific Research Institute of Urology and Interventional Radiology — Branch of the National Medical Radiology Research Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the period 2008-2018.

Results. The article analyzes the clinical effectiveness of the developed algorithm for the choice of therapeutic tactics in different variants of scrotal and testicular injuries. The key differences between the proposed algorithm and the generally accepted tactics are the extension of indications for emergency testicular revision (to operate with hematocele of any volume) and the same type of antibacterial prevention/therapy of infectious posttraumatic orchitis, regardless of the nature of the injury.

Conclusion. When using the algorithm, the following clinical advantages were noted: reducing the likelihood of acute post-traumatic orchitis 2.4 times (p = 0,0271); reduced likelihood of postoperative infectious-inflammatory complications is reduced 2.0 times; reducing the likelihood of orchiectomy or hardening of the testicle 1.4 times.

One of the factors affecting the effectiveness of treatment and determining the prognosis of a patient with colorectal cancer may be inflammatory status both before and after surgical treatment. The review is devoted to the description of possible mechanisms of relationa between patient's inflammatory status and oncogenesis. Particular attention is paid to the ability of tumor cells to modify the immune cells from the antioncogenic to prooncogenic status. The paper makes an attempt to present a unified concept of the impact of postoperative complications on tumor recurrence in the light of the inflammatory response to surgical intervention.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — one of the most common urological diseases that lead to the development of symptoms of the lower urinary tract (SLUT). BPH-multifactorial disease, in which a significant role is given to increase the activity of the enzyme 5a-reductase and hormonal imbalance associated with the exchange of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. However, to date, not all aspects of the etiology and pathogenesis of this condition have been studied. The results of numerous studies indicate a significant role of complex metabolic disorders included in the modern concept of "metabolic syndrome" (MS), the development and progression of BPH/SLUT. The main pathogenetic factors leading to the formation of BPH and concomitant urination disorders are considered to be a violation of the balance of sex hormones, the development of chronic ischemia of the pelvic organs, a violation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The relationship between BPH and MS is one of the most urgent problems of modern medicine. Different components of MS independently from each other can influence more pronounced progression of BPH/SLUT in comparison with development of this disease in men without metabolic disorders that is the reason of lower efficiency of surgical and medical treatment of this group of patients.

The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the possibility of performing various methods of thermal and non-thermal ablation in patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors on the basis of data available in the world medical literature.

As conservative variants of local action in patients with non-resectable primary and secondary liver tumors and inoperable patients, various ablative techniques have been developed and used to achieve local control over the disease and increase the life expectancy of this group of patients. These include: radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, HIFU therapy, laser ablation, cryotherapy, chemical destruction of the tumor, irreversible electroporation, stereotactic radiation therapy.

The effectiveness of these ablation methods depends on the size and localization of the tumor focus, and for thermal techniques — also on its location relative to large vessels. Ablative techniques have the maximum efficiency (in some cases, similar to surgical intervention) when exposed to early forms of primary cancer or secondary tumor formation of the liver in the presence of a solitary node with a maximum size up to 5 cm or 3 and less foci size up to 3 cm. The effectiveness of local destruction of tumor formations of the liver of larger diameter is increased by carrying out ablation by the second stage after performing chemoembolization of the hepatic artery or by combining various techniques of local action.

The use of various modern methods of ablation of solid primary and secondary liver tumors in medical practice can expand the possibilities of antitumor treatment of this category of patients.

In this reviewing article there are discussed such topics as modern classification of acute pancreatitis, indications for surgical treatment of severe and, first of all, infected pancreatic necrosis, modern tendencies in this problem and controversial issues of it. The analysis of two different methods of surgeries («closed» and «open») for drainage of retroperitoneal space depending on the scale of necrotic lesion has been carried out. The perspective use of the natural transluminal endoscopic surgery (ENOTES) in the treatment of acute pancreatitis, complicated by abdominal compartment syndrome, is shown. The frequency of intraoperative and early complications after «closed» and «open» surgical interventions for severe acute pancreatitis has been reviewed; also recognition of the complications, the prevention of their occurrence and the choice of surgical or conservative methods of treating the complications.

The review of the literature examines the results of modern randomized cohort studies on the efficacy of alloplas-ty in hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm. The complications and relapses after plastic are analyzed by various types of reticular implants: polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, lightweight, resorbable and biological cell — free dermal implants. As a result of the analysis, the presence of serious complications and relapses after the use of certain techniques for alloplasty of the hernia of the esophageal aperture of the diaphragm has been proved, and also identified the problematic issues of the evolutionary development of these techniques in the conduct of operative surgical interventions.

Purpose. To improve the technology of cancer patients' rehabilitation in the multidisciplinary hospital using an interdisciplinary approach at the stages of combined treatment of malignant tumors.

Patients and methods. The analysis of 845 cases of admission of cancer patients in a multidisciplinary clinic for oncological rehabilitation, including treatment of complications and co morbid diseases, diagnosis and palliative care, on the specialized treatment stages was made. Based on the diagnosis, clinical status, determination of the clinical potential of these patients the need in medical rehabilitation of cancer patients based on the principles of an interdisciplinary approach was established.

Results. A low commitment of oncologists to refer patients to multidisciplinary hospitals for supporting general medical treatment programs, which involve the work of multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams, especially at the initial stages of cancer, was revealed. In 94.1% of cases, based on oncologists' recommendation patients were presented to the multidisciplinary hospital only in the advanced stage of malignant disease. However, 64.8% of patients who came only for the purpose of "hospice" or palliative care treatment were able to continue their anticancer treatment. In 4.9% of cases among patients, who were referred for palliative care, the severity of their condition was mistakenly regarded as a relapse of cancer, whereas it was caused by comorbid pathology.

The low interest of cancer patients in rehabilitation programs in the absence of recommendations from oncologists was revealed. It was shown that supportive therapy based on the principles of interdisciplinary approach is not only needed for patients with far-ongoing manifestations of cancer process, but also for patients with stage I-II of cancer, since even at this stage various complications of cancer disease, the consequences of its treatment and also manifestations of a combined pathology are often encountered.

Conclusion. A classification of medical problems of cancer patients was proposed. Based on the newly developed methodology, the algorithm of personified rehabilitation support programs of oncological patients' and guidelines for managing patients at the stages of specialized and rehabilitative treatment using principles of an interdisciplinary approach, were created.

The article presents clinical trials data of melanoma with brain metastasis and a clinical case of long-term survival of a patient with disseminated skin melanoma and synchronous multiple metastatic brain damage by controlling a tumor disease using modern antitumor treatment, including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, radiosurgery and neurosurgery (at the stage of diagnosis). The total duration of life after detection of the disease is 22 months, with an expected 2-3 months.

Purpose. Carrying out medical and statistical analysis of morbidity and mortality of the population with malignant neoplasms, development of proposals for greater accessibility and areas of improvement of specialized including high-tech medical care (HTMC) for patients with cancer in the Moscow region.

Materials and methods. The analysis of morbidity and mortality of the population of the Moscow region from malignant neoplasms and the organization of specialized, including high-tech, medical care to cancer patients on the basis of forms of Federal state statistical observations in relation to the three-level system of the organization of medical care to the population of the region with identification of organizational and financial problems.

Results. The incidence of malignant neoplasms in the Moscow region in 2017 amounted to 364.9 per 100 thousand population, which is 1.0% below the level of 2016-365.9 per 100 thousand population and below the average for the Central Federal district and the Russian Federation. The mortality rate from neoplasms in the Moscow region decreased in 2017 to 174.7 cases per 100 thousand population, which is less than the average for the Central Federal district — 207.1 and the Russian Federation — 196.9 per 100 thousand population. At the same time, the volume of specialized medical care (including high — tech medical care) for malignant tumors, in a 24-hour hospital is more than twice the average Russian standard — 13% for SMC and 50% for HTMC. Exceeding the standard of medical care is mainly due to the HTMC 2, which is not planned in the subject of the Russian Federation and is usually in Federal clinics. The share of oncological medical care received outside the medical organizations of the MR is 16%, which exceeds the share of medical care in all other profiles received outside the Moscow region (12%). This situation contributes to the availability of cancer care to the population of the Moscow region.

Conclusion. The performed work allowed to draw conclusions that in normative legal acts of Federal level it is necessary to define separately the standard of volumes of specialized, including hi-tech medical care, on the profile of Oncology. Large volumes of HTMC cannot be an unambiguous characteristic of the availability of medical care in General, since HTMC is medical care with the use of complex methods of diagnosis and treatment in clinically complex cases. Large volumes of HTMC can be a consequence of the complexity of clinical cases, but also a consequence of neglect of the disease due to the lack of diagnosis and treatment in the provision of primary health care (PHC) at the 1st level. In the Moscow region, there is a need to redistribute the volume of this medical care not only to cancer dispensaries, but also to other medical organizations. After that, there is a need for the distribution of patients, taking into account the morbidity in the territories, the place of residence of citizens, and taking into account the capabilities of medical organizations for the treatment of cancer patients (surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy). Medical organizations of the subject of the Federation shall be ranked taking into account the applied technologies and opportunities of drug therapy. As a result, a clear routing of patients with cancer should be developed in the subject of the Russian Federation.

Aim. Medico-sociological study of patients' satisfaction with the activity of a large city multi-profile N. Pirogov Samara hospital.

Materials and methods. The results of the study of patients' satisfaction with a large multidisciplinary hospital in the city of Samara on the activities of the hospital in modern conditions are presented. During the medical and sociological survey, 474 patients were medically screened, the median age of which was 40 years. The sample size of the respondents was 50% of the patients in the hospital. The sample was randomly generated.

Results. In the age structure of the respondents (hospitalized patients), persons aged 30-45 and 18-29, who account for 30.4% and 29.5%, respectively, are predominant. Patients of the age category 46-59 years are slightly less — 21.5%, at the age of 60 and older — even less (18.6%). Two-thirds of the respondents (66.7%) indicate a satisfactory assessment of their financial situation, 43.9% of respondents indicate a satisfactory level of health status. Most patients (63.1%) are generally satisfied with the provision of medical care. A fairly low proportion of patients (less than 10%) who spent personal funds during inpatient treatment was noted. Against the background of a relatively high degree (more than 70%) of patients' satisfaction with the processes of diagnosis and treatment, there is a low satisfaction with the sanitary and hygienic conditions of inpatient stay (46.4%). Patients are more satisfied with the relationship with the average medical personnel (75.9%) than with the doctors (63.5%). The average assessment of the quality of the organization of medical care in the hospital was 3.88 on a five-point scale.

Conclusion. The main shortcomings in the quality of the organization of medical care were the low material and technical base of the hospital (according to 14.1% of patients), sanitary and hygienic problems (9.7%), claims to food quality (6.8%), shortages of medicines and consumables materials (5.7%). The results of the study of patients' satisfaction with the quality of the services provided reveal the factors that reduce patient satisfaction with medical care and highlight the main directions for its optimization.
