FEATURES OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF BRAIN CANCER WITH PRIMARILY MULTIPLE POLYNEOPLASIAS

Abstract

The term «multiple malignant polyneoplasia» implies the absence of anatomic con­nections between histologically confirmed independent malignant tumors, where the subsequent tu­mor is not a continued growth or metastasis of the primary tumor. An increase in the contingent of long-term patients with oncological diseases increases the overall cumulative probability of a second tumor. The presence of multiple neoplastic lesions leads to a synergistic negative effect of each of the tumors on the patient’s body and a reduction in the patient’s chances to undergo treatment.
