When breast cancer is curable
1337 1.5 min read

Breast cancer is an oncological pathology in which the cells of an organ begin to divide uncontrollably and cease to function normally, leading to the formation of a malignant tumor. This is one of the most common oncological diseases – in terms of frequency (after lung cancer), it ranks second in the world. Every year, the number of oncologist patients increases by 1-2%.


The four stages of melanoma

Melanoma is an oncological disease that occurs in the pigment cells of the skin. The disease gradually grows vertically in the epidermis and is capable of forming metastases. The disease is difficult to treat, however, detecting it at an early stage significantly increases a person's chances of remission.


Partial removal of the uterus

Partial removal of the uterus or partial hysterectomy is a process in which the body of the reproductive organ is completely removed. Doctors do not remove the cervix and ovaries during the procedure. The intervention is performed minimally invasively through small incisions in the skin or through the vagina.


Chemotherapy for cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a common oncological disease of the genital organs, accounting for 6% of all malignant tumors in women.

There are many methods of treating this malignant neoplasm, including chemotherapy.


Chemotherapy for melanoma

Melanoma is a malignant tumor that occurs as a result of the degeneration and subsequent proliferation of cells of the epidermis. It affects the skin more often, however, in rare cases it occurs on mucous membranes. The tumor spreads in the cells of the epidermis, is capable of forming metastases and penetrating into internal organs. The classic methods of treating melanoma are surgery and chemotherapy. Their combination makes it possible to achieve stable remission.


Removal of melanoma

Professional removal of melanoma includes comprehensive treatment consisting of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy. The selection of specific procedures and medications in modern clinics is based on the results of modern diagnostics, including full-body 3D screening.


Screening for cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the most recognizable during diagnosis, even at an early stage. The main types of screening for cervical cancer include:

  • Pap test (Pap smear) - allows you to detect abnormal changes in cells on the cervix, which can later turn into a cancerous tumor if they are not treated properly.;
  • The HPV (human papillomavirus) test allows you to find a virus that can cause adverse changes in cells.

Birthmark and melanoma

Some people may develop melanoma from a mole. Moles are harmless small brown spots (pigmentation) or growths on the skin that appear in the first few decades of life in almost everyone. They can be either flat or raised, rounded or oval with symmetrical borders. Many of them are caused by sun exposure. Melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer, most often manifests itself as an asymmetric, multicolored or brown-black spot or an outgrowth with uneven borders that increases over time.


Recurrence of uterine cancer
10415

Recurrent uterine cancer is a tumor that has returned after initial treatment. With standard approaches (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) this condition is considered incurable. The prognosis for recurrent uterine cancer depends on the aggressiveness and area of spread of the recurrent tumor. If the neoplasm is located within the uterus, the five–year survival rate of patients averages 27-28%. In the case of metastasis, this indicator decreases to 15%.


Cervical cancer: general information
1719

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor on the cervix. It occurs in women of any age, so everyone needs to know everything about cervical cancer: what causes it, what types there are, how it manifests itself and how it is treated.

The link between human papillomavirus and cervical cancer has been unequivocally proven — HPV has been found in the vast majority of patients. Other risk factors include smoking, prolonged use of oral contraceptives, and a history of multiple pregnancies. Frequent change of sexual partners is also a possible cause, as it increases the likelihood of HPV infection.
