ABSTRACT
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a tumor that is typical of late metastases detected within 3 years after radical nephrectomy in 85% of cases. RCC most commonly metastasizes to the lung, bone, liver, and brain; the pancreas is involved in no more than 0.25-3% of cases. The paper describes a unique clinical case of multiple late pancreatic metastases from clear cell RCC in a 77-year-old woman 27 years after removal of the primary tumor.

There are presented results of treatment of 347 patients with colorectal cancer. Laparoscopic surgery had been planned for 92 (26.5%) patients (study group). In 79 (85.9%) patients surgery was performed completely by laparoscopy, 13 (14.1%) patients underwent conversion. In 255 (73.5%) patients surgery was carried out from an open access (control group). The authors showed the effectiveness of the use of minimally invasive techniques in treatment for colorectal cancer.

Fifty-one patients with decaying breast cancer without signs of distant metastasis were operated on at the Academy's Clinic (September 2004 - December 2009). According to the 3-year follow-up, 18 out of 27 (62.5%) survived for 3 years and longer.
