[Chronopharmacological basis for the therapy of water-salt imbalance in patients with stomach cancer]. / Khronofarmakologicheskoe obosnovanie terapii vodno-solevogo disbalansa u bol'nykh rakom zheludka.

The diurnal rhythm of water- and electrolyte uresis was compared in 50 patients with stomach cancer and 20 cases of stomach ulcer and 20 healthy subjects. A specific level of rhythmostasis (neorhythmostasis) was established in cancer patients. It is suggested that standard procedures for water-salt dysbalance correction should be improved (by integrating chronotherapy with practice).

[Analysis of the reasons for the late detection of malignant tumors (based on data from the Voroshilovgrad Province Oncological Dispensary)]. / Analiz prichin nesvoevremennogo vyiavleniia zlokachestvennykh opukholei (po materialam Voroshilovgradskogo oblastnogo onkologicheskogo dispansesra).

The share of advanced malignant tumors is approximately 22.9%, the highest incidence rate (57.1%) being among patients aged 51--70 years. They show the following distribution for different sites: gastrointestinal tract--53.12; respiratory system--23.78; female genital organs--8.12; urinary system--6.13 and other sites--8.76%. Among the main causes of the detection of malignant tumors at advanced states are superficial, irregular check-ups, errors in clinical and roentgenologic diagnosis, latent course of the disease late application for medical aid and inadequate knowledge of oncology by general practitioners. With a view to improving the doctors' qualifications and raising the standards of mass screenings, Weeks of Oncologists are being conducted, short-term courses for advanced medical training and specialized oncological mass screenings for occupational tumors are organized; and Evening University of Oncology was established.

[Role of genealogical studies for the prevention of malignant neoplasms]. / Rol' genealogicheskikh issledovanii dlia profilaktiki zlokachestvennykh novoobrazovanii

Based on clinico-genealogical studies of 219 cancer patients, whose relatives suffered neoplastic processes, it was concluded that a hereditory factor plays a definite role in cancer morbidity. It seems to be rational to single out the relatives of the proband as a high-risk group in malignant tumor morbidity and to keep them under a dispensary control.
