Present case report describes the combination of two neoplastic processes with different anatomic localization, the analogues to which have not been found either in the domestic literature or foreign sources. The article presents the case of a synchronous primary-multiple malignant neoplasm - malignant tumor from the membranes of the peripheral nerves of the nasal cavity with expansion into the right maxillary sinus, the cells of the ethmoidal sinus т2bN0M0 and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon т4аN0M0. Physical examination and positron emission tomography combined with the computed tomography confirmed a hypervascular tumor of the posterior cells of the ethmoidal sinus and a nasal cavity without hypermetabolism and the circular tumor of the sigmoid colon with hypermetabolism. Taking into account the primary-multiple character of the lesion and the clinic of intestinal obstruction, a tactic of the treatment was a combined surgery - the removal of the neoplasm of the nasal cavity with resection of the right maxillary sinus with microsurgical technique and a reconstructive-plastic component using a coronary access, laparotomy, resection of the sigmoid colon, lymphadenectomy. The chosen treatment allowed eliminating both of the tumors in a short time and moving on to a further stage of treatment. The patient is under the supervision, there is no recurrence of the disease at the moment.

Improving the quality of medical care is based on a coordinated policy at the federal, regional and municipal levels in the field of health. The implementation of this goal is based on a regular assessment of the current state of the healthcare system in the Russian Federation. Objective. Our aim was to analyse of the main indicators characterizing medical care for children with cancer in the South Federal District. Methods. The operative reports for 2017 of the executive authorities in the sphere of health protection of 8 subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the South Federal District of the Russian Federation have been analyzed. Results. The number of children were 3 216 797 people (aged 0-17 years), the number of children's oncological beds is 272 (0.8 per 10 thousand children aged 0-17 years), the average number of days of berth employment in the year is 289.9 bed days. In 4 (50%) subjects of the department of pediatric oncology are absent, in 1 (12.5%) - there are no children's oncological beds. The number of doctors providing medical care to children with cancer is 50, of them 42 (84%, 0.1 per 10 thousand children aged 0-17 years) have a certificate of a pediatric oncologist. In 2 (25%) subjects, there are no pediatric oncologists. Incidence of malignant tumors was 13.9 (per 100,000 children aged 0-17 years), prevalence was 86.5 (per 100,000 children aged 0-17 years), mortality was 2.5 (per 100,000 children aged 0-17 years), a one-year mortality rate of 4.7%. 8% of patients were actively detected. 104 (23.2%) of primary patients were sent to medical organizations of federal subordination, 4 (0.9%) of primary patients left the territory of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. The analysis revealed a number of defects: incorrect information contained in the reports, low incidence (detectability) of patients, including during planned preventive examinations, staff shortages and non-rational use of bed facilities.

Evaluation of the results is also the basis of the strategy for the development of medical care for this category of patients. Objective. Our aim was to analysie the main indicators characterizing medical care for children with cancer in the North-Caucasian, Volga, Urals, Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Methods. In ecological study the operative reports for 2017 of the executive authorities in the sphere of health protection of 44/48 (91.6%) subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the listed above federal districts have been analyzed (Chuvash Republic, Irkutsk Region, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Khabarovsk Territory did not provide data). Results. The number of children's population was 15 555 306 people (0-17 years), the number of children's oncological beds - 1166 (0.7 per 10 thousand 0-17 years), the average number of days of berth employment in the year - 324.6 bed days. In 13 (29.5%) subjects of the department of pediatric oncology are absent, in 6 (13.6%) - there are no children's oncological beds. The number of doctors providing medical care to children with cancer is 213, of which 132 (62%; 0.08 for 10 thousand 0-17 years) have a certificate of a pediatric oncologist. In 6 (13.6%) subjects there are no doctors-children oncologists (6 more (13.6%) subjects did not provide data). The incidence of malignant neoplasms was 13.1 (per 100.000 0-17 years), the prevalence of 93.1 (per 100.000 0-17 years), mortality rate 2.5 (per 100.000 0-17 years), one-year lethality - 6.8%. 10.1% of patients were actively detected. 781 (38.3%) of primary patients were sent to medical organizations for federal subordination, 39 (1.9%) of primary patients left the territory of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. Obvious accounting defects (low incidence rate) and lack of reliable follow-up data (estimation of mortality levels is difficult) are eliminated by introducing electronic accounting systems. For reliable estimation of the level of provision of the population with children's cancer beds and the percentage of patients sent for treatment in medical organizations of federal subordination, audit of patients' illnesses is necessary. The traditional problems - the deficiency of doctors and children's oncologists and a low percentage of patients identified actively - must be addressed through the reform of the training program for medical personnel.

Planning the management for medical care delivery for children with cancer, as well as analysis of the effectiveness of medical care delivery is based on the statistical indicators analysis. Objective. Our aim was to analyze the main indicators characterizing medical care delivery for children with cancer in the Central Federal District. Methods. The operative reports for 2017 provided by the executive health protection authorities of 18 subjects of the Russian Federation that are part of the Central Federal District have been analyzed. Results. The study enrolled the following data: number of children was 6 824 049 (0–17 years), pediatric oncological departments — 9, pediatric oncological beds — 464, days of berth employment per year — 319.3. The number of practitioners providing medical care to children with cancer was 91, 64 (70.3%) of them had a certificate of training as a pediatric oncologist. In 11 subjects, the department of pediatric oncology was not available; one of the districts did not provide any pediatric oncological beds. The number of primary patients with malignant neoplasms was 821. The number of deceased patients was 156 including 66 identified in 2017. The incidence of malignant tumors was 12 (per 100 000 for the 0–17 age group), the mortality rate was 2.3 (per 100 thousand for the age group 0–17 years), one-year mortality rate — 8%. We failed to reveal the average time from diagnosis establishing till its validation before the treatment onset since the reports did not provide precise information on the point. 12 (1.5%) primary patients left for treatment abroad. Conclusion. Most reports included indicators which lack congruity with one another. The incidence rates were significantly lower than those in countries with high statistical reliability. The percentage of patients identified actively remained extremely low. To improve the revealed defects a single database of children with oncological diseases should be implemented in the Russian Federation.

© 2018 Onkopediatria. All rights reserved. Background. Analysis of statistical data in the federal districts of the Russian Federation provides opportunities to assess the quality of medical care delivery in children with cancer and plan further development with consideration for the point elimination of existing defects. Objective. Our aim was to analyze the main indicators characterizing medical care for children with cancer in the North-West Federal District. Methods. The study analyzed operative reports for 2017 provided by the executive public health authorities of 11 subjects of the Russian Federation affiliated to the North-West Federal District. Results. The pediatric population was 2 537 133 children (0-17 years), the pediatric oncological bed capacity - 174 (0.7 per 10 000 aged 0-17 years), the annual berth average occupancy - 290.7 days. 6 (54.5%) subjects did not provide pediatric population with departments of pediatric oncology, 4 (36.4%) subjects did not have bed capacity. The number of practitioners providing medical care to children with cancer was 38, 27 among them (71%; 0.1 per 10 thousand 0-17 years) had a certificate of pediatric oncologist. 2 (18.2%) subjects did not have pediatric oncologists in the medical stuff. The incidence of malignant tumors in children aged 0-17 was 15.6 (per 100,000), the prevalence was 92.6 (per 100,000), the mortality rate was 2.6 (per 100,000), one-year mortality rate - 4.5% (18/397). The number of patients identified actively was 11 (2.8%). 160 (40.3%) primary patients were sent to Federal medical facilities, 6 (1.5%) - left the territory of the Russian Federation for the further treatment. Conclusion. The incidence and mortality rates are rather low which indicates the defects in patient detection and lack of reliable follow-up data. The percentage of patients referred for treatment to Federal medical facilities is not very high; however, to interpret this indicator according to patient routing, we have to analyze the medical history of all the patients. We can assert that health care delivery service for children with oncological diseases is at an acceptable standard level but needs to be improved.

Among solid tumors, approximately 5% are bone sarcomas: osteosarcoma (3%) and Ewing's sarcoma (2%). Atypicality of the course of these diseases makes it difficult to diagnose them early. The article describes a series of clinical observations of patients with bone sarcomas, which illustrate the complexity of diagnosing diseases of this group.

Analysis of medical care delivery for children with cancer in armed conflict is highly important because the high-tech treatment in this context is extraordinary difficult and challenging task. Objective. Our aim was to analyze the morbidity and mortality rates in children with malignant tumors, to assess the pediatric patient capacity and medical service density in the Donetsk People's Republic. Methods. The ecological study was conducted where the units of analysis were represented by the aggregated data of the Republican Cancer Registry on the number of primary and secondary patients with malignant and benign tumors, the deceased patients in the DNR in 2014-2017, pediatric patient capacity, and medical service density. Results. The number of pediatric patient capacity for children with cancer was 10 (0.27 per 10,000 children aged 0-17), pediatric patient capacity for children with hematological disorders - 40 (1.37 per 10,000 children aged 0-17). The treatment of children with cancer was performed by 5 healthcare providers: 1 pediatric oncologist (0.02 per 10,000 children aged 0-17), 3 hematologists (0.08 per 10,000 pediatric population aged 0-17), and 1 practitioner who did not have a specialist certificate in oncology. Morbidity rate for malignant neoplasms from 2014 to 2017 decreased by 25% (in 2014 - 9.6 per 10,000 children aged 0-17; in 2017 - 7.2). In the morbidity structure, the incidence proportion of hemoblastoses was 68.4%, brain tumors - 2.6%, other solid tumors - 29%. The death rate due to malignant neoplasms decreased by 37% (in 2014 - 2.7; in 2017 - 1.7). Conclusion. Low levels of the incidence rate and pattern of morbidity indicate defects in the identification and recording of patients. This explains the performance of the bed: low average bed occupancy per year and low turnover. For a reliable analysis of mortality statistical data is not available: in 2014-2015 only the number of in-hospital deceased patients is presented. Limited data is due to the lack of reliable patient catamnesis which is explained by the high rate of population migration.

At present, there is no reliable statistical data (morbidity, mortality, one-year mortality, etc.) that characterize the state of medical care for children with cancers in the Russian Federation seen in due to the lack of an universal electronic database of patients. Objective. Improve the reliability of statistical data. Methods. In the clinical practice of two pilot medical facilities, an electronic database of pediatric cancer patients was introduced which allows: keep patient records with a diagnosis, key dates, follow-up data; analyze the treatment received earlier and assess its quality; make a treatment plan; obtain information on the availability of beds and the number of patients in various medical facilities; perform medical consultations involving the of specialists of the third level medical institutions. Patient (or legal representatives of the patient), has access to the «private cabinet » which provides information on the treatment plan including a schedule for taking medicines, as well as routing possibilities. Results. In the period of 6 months (09.17-02.18), information on 75 patients who received treatment from 2017 to the present was put into the electronic database. Conclusion. The electronic database provides reliable statistical data, helps monitoring the quality of medical care and routing patients. This results in reducing the budget costs and improving the survival of patients.

Background: Moscow and St. Petersburg are cities of federal significance with the largest number of children and consequently a large number of primary patients identified annually. Objective: Our aim was to analyze the main indicators characterizing the delivery of medical care for children with cancer in cities of federal significance. Methods: The operative reports for 2013–2017 of the Department of Health of Moscow, the Ministry of Health of the Moscow Region, the Health Committee of the Government of St. Petersburg, and the Health Committee of the Leningrad Region were analyzed. Results. In 2013–2017 in the Russian Federation, 18 090 primary patients were identified, 2734 (15.1%) of them in the analyzed subjects: in Moscow — 1315 (7.3%), in the Moscow Region — 492 (2.7%), in St. Petersburg — 697 (3.9%), in the Leningrad Region — 230 (1.3%). For 5 years, the number of primary patients increased in Moscow by 18.1%, in St. Petersburg — by 36%, in the Leningrad Region — by 2.5%. In the Moscow Region, the number of primary patients decreased by 2.3%. The incidence in Moscow increased by 5.3% (from 11.3 per 100 000 of children aged 0–17 in 2013 to 11.9 in 2017), in St. Petersburg — by 18.1% (from 14.9 in 2013 to 17.6 in 2017). The incidence in the Moscow Region fell by 20% (from 11.8 in 2013 to 9.4 in 2017), in the Leningrad Region by 4.9% (from 14.4 in 2013 to 13.7 in 2017). Mortality in 2016–2017 in Moscow decreased by 37.5% (from 6.4 per 100 thousand children’s population 0–17 years to 4), in the Moscow Region — by 50% (from 2 to 1), in St. Petersburg increased by 50% (from 2 to 3), in the Leningrad Region — by 12.5% (from 2.4 to 2.7). The one-year mortality rate in Moscow increased by 3.7% (from 8.3% in 2016 to 12% in 2017), in the Moscow Region — by 3.5% (from 5.4 to 8.9% %), in St. Petersburg — by 3.9% (from 2.5 to 6.4%). In the Leningrad Region, the one-year mortality rate decreased from 6.5% in 2016 to 0 in 2017. The number of pediatric oncological beds did not change in the Moscow Region (0.4 per 10,000 children aged 0–17 years), St. Petersburg (0.9), and the Leningrad Region (0). In Moscow and St. Petersburg patients were not identified actively in 2016–2017; in the Moscow Region, their percentage decreased from 34.2 to 7.3, in the Leningrad Region — from 8.7 to 0. In Moscow, the number of pediatric oncological beds increased by 50% (from 0.6 to 0.9). The number of oncologists increased in the Moscow Region from 0.009 per 10 000 children aged 0–17 years to 0.06 (66.7%), in St. Petersburg from 0.09 to 0.12 (+33.3%), in the Leningrad Region — from 0 to 0.03. In Moscow, the number of pediatric oncologists decreased from 0.13 to 0.11 (-15.3%). Conclusion: Defects of statistical data were revealed. Patients were not identified during routine preventive examinations which indicate a low oncologic alertness of district pediatric physicians. Delivery of medical care for children with cancer and the statistical data accumulation procedures should be improved.
