Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of survival, markers of hemostasis, proteolysis, and tumor invasion after complex palliative treatment of patients with histologically verified malignant tumors of the bile ducts complicated by obstructive jaundice in two comparable groups of patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of palliative surgical treatment using photodynamic therapy in patients with malignant tumors of the biliary system complicated by obstructive jaundice. In 10 patients of the main group, palliative surgical treatment was performed using photodynamic therapy; in 20 patients of the comparison group, palliative surgical treatment was performed without photodynamic therapy. In patients of the main group, a statistically significant increase in life expectancy by 104 days (p=0.033) was observed compared to the comparison group. At the same time, a statistically significant effect of tumor necrosis factor α, a marker of tumor invasion, on survival (p = 0.012) and a decrease in its level after photodynamic therapy by 15 pg/ml (p=0.041) was revealed. Thus, palliative treatment using photodynamic therapy of malignant tumors of the bile ducts, complicated by obstructive jaundice, can increase the survival rate of patients by reducing tumor invasion.
期刊介绍:
The main goal of the journal – to promote the development of Russian biomedical photonics and implementation of its advances into medical practice. The primary objectives: - Presentation of up-to-date results of scientific and in research and scientific and practical (clinical and experimental) activity in the field of biomedical photonics. - Development of united Russian media for integration of knowledge and experience of scientists and practitioners in this field. - Distribution of best practices in laser medicine to regions. - Keeping the clinicians informed about new methods and devices for laser medicine - Approval of investigations of Ph.D candidates and applicants.
