SURGICAL METHODS OF TREATMENT IN ONCOLOGY: FROM EXPANDED TO minimally invasive OPERATIONS

The modern approaches to the cancer patient treatment in terms of oncosurgery
development are described in the article. It is noted that the volume of surgeries will
decrease in favor of organ- and tissue-preserving interventions on the basis of high
technologies in the future. Currently, endosurgical technologies are actively being
introduced, having a number of advantages over open operations, but have some
shortcomings either. Trends in surgical treatment of patients are focused on minimizing
the level of lymphatic dissection after the sentinel lymph node verification.
