Partial mastectomy is the method of choice for the surgical treatment of benign neoplasms (BN) of the breast. The drawback of this technique is the occurrence of residual cavities with the accumulation of serous and hemorrhagic exudate, promoting inflammation. Hydroxyethyl dimethyldihydropyrimidine (Ximedon) in the postoperative treatment improves the healing and overall treatment outcomes. \u0000Materials and methods. The study included 101 patients. All of them had a partial mastectomy for the BN. The study patients received different pharmacotherapy in the postoperative period. They were divided into two groups depending on the use of hydroxyethyl dimethyldihydropyrimidine. Group 1 included 52 (51.5%) patients who received hydroxyethyl dimethyldihydropyrimidine 2 hours before surgery and 0.5 g on days 1 to 7 in the postoperative period. Group 2 included 49 (48.5%) patients who had not received hydroxyethyl dimethyldihydropyrimidine. \u0000Results. Analysis of treatment outcomes showed that in group 1 patients receiving hydroxyethyl dimethyldihydropyrimidine, the overall treatment results were better. Therefore, hydroxyethyldimethyldihydropyrimidine improved overall treatment outcomes and increased patients' quality of life in the postoperative period. \u0000Conclusion. The use of hydroxyethyldimethyldihydropyrimidine in the postoperative period, which has a protective effect at the cellular level due to membrane-stabilizing, antioxidant, adaptogenic, and antibacterial properties, is promising and improves wound healing, thus improving the overall results of surgical treatment of breast BNs.","PeriodicalId":16401,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Oncology","volume":"30 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140443382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the progress in pelvic exenteration (PE) technique in international oncological practice, it is still debatable for cancer surgeons. The main reasons for its unpopularity are technical complexity, high rate of intra- and postoperative complications (60%), high postoperative mortality (30%), and challenging postoperative rehabilitation of patients. \u0000Aim. To evaluate long-term outcomes after pelvic exenteration in patients with locally advanced recurrent cervical cancer. \u0000Materials and methods. From September 2021 to December 2022, 23 PEs were performed, including 12 total and 11 anterior. The mean age was 52.2±10.0 years (range 39–83 years). All patients were diagnosed with locally advanced recurrent cervical cancer: 7 (30%) with stage II, 8 (35%) with stage III, and 8 (35%) with stage IV according to the TNM classification. Histologically, cervical cancer was represented by moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. PE was preceded by the following treatments: neoadjuvant chemotherapy in 17 (74%) patients, surgical treatment in 4 (17%) patients, and chemoradiotherapy in 2 (9%) patients. More than half (56%) of patients achieved grade 2 therapeutic pathomorphism. The advanced disease involved the following adjacent organs: bladder (16; 70%), intestines (13; 56%), uterine endometrium (7; 30%), myometrium and parametrium (4; 17%), fallopian tubes, vagina, and ovary (2; 9%). \u0000Results. The average follow-up time for patients was 9.4±8.8 months. Median time to progression – 8.7 months [5.9; 10.8]. During the observation period, 78.3% (18/23) of patients died. Progression was recorded in 39.1% (9/23) of patients. The 1-year overall survival of patients was 38.7% (median 8.9 months). The 1-year tumor-specific survival rate was 60.6% (median 14.1 months). The 1- and 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 63.0 and 49.0% (median, 13.4 months), respectively. \u0000Conclusion. During the observation period, death occurred in 54.6% (12/23) of cases in the anterior PE group, and in 25% (6/23) in the total group. The median overall survival with anterior PE is 2 times higher compared to total PE (9.6 months versus 4.1 months). Median PFS was 13.4 months. For patients after anterior and total pelvic exenteration, 1-year PFS was 51.9±17.6 and 72.9±13.5; 3-year – 25.9±15.7 and 72.9±13.5 (p=0.178), respectively.

Computed tomographic preoperative assessment of sarcopenia in patients with gastric cancer as a part of combined treatment and the study of the relationship between sarcopenia and postoperative complications. \u0000Materials and methods. We analyzed retrospectively the data of 65 patients with morphologically verified diagnosis of stage IIA–IIIC gastric cancer. All patients at stage I of the combined treatment received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) according to the FLOT regimen, and then a gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was performed. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed before NCT initiation and 3.5 to 5 weeks after NCT completion for preoperative staging and assessment of tumor response. Using the obtained CT data, CT sarcometry was performed by calculating the cross-sectional area of skeletal muscles at the LIII vertebra level and the “skeletal-muscular index”. Postoperative complications were assessed using the Clavien–Dindo classification. Non-parametric comparison methods were used to assess the significance of differences between groups and subgroups (Wilcoxon T-test, Pearson χ2 test). Differences were considered statistically significant at p0.05. \u0000Results. We analyzed the incidence of sarcopenia in the examined patients before the NCT and immediately before the surgery. Sarcopenia was noted in 41 (63.1%) of 65 patients before NCT and in 50 (76.9%) patients after NCT, which indicates its high prevalence in patients with stomach cancer and the adverse effect of NCT on the muscular status of patients (76.9% versus 63.1%). Postoperative complications were diagnosed in 12 of 65 patients (18.5%). The rate of postoperative complications in patients with and without sarcopenia was not statistically significantly different (p=0.392); however, complications of Clavien–Dindo grade ≥IIIb occurred only in patients with sarcopenia (p0.001). \u0000Conclusion. According to our data, NCT in gastric cancer aggravates preoperative nutritional disorders. CT, as a standard method of staging and assessing the tumor response to NCT for gastric cancer, provides a tool to assess the state of muscle mass in patients before and after NCT. Preoperative sarcopenia is a risk factor for severe postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer after gastrectomy.","PeriodicalId":16401,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Oncology","volume":"4 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138584857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
