Carcinoma of the urachus and the role of PET-CT in disease recurrence – case report
Urachal carcinoma is a rare cancer that accounts for 0.5%-2% of all bladder cancers. These tumours are commonly seen in patients 40-70 years of age, two-thirds of whom are men. Most urachal cancers are adenocarcinomas but other histological subtypes are described. Patients with urachal cancer may have no symptoms until the late stage. The most common clinical signs are suprapubic mass, haematuria and dysuria. The recommended treatment is primarily surgical, with extended partial cystectomy, en bloc excision of the urachal mass, urachal tract and umbilicus, and pelvic lymph node dissection. While some have advocated radical cystectomy as definitive therapy, this procedure can usually be reserved for larger tumours. Radiation and che­motherapy are ineffective against urachal carcinoma. The aim of this article is to present a patient with urachal carcinoma and describe the treatment, including the special role of PET-CT.

Sense of coherence (SOC) and social support received by women after mastectomy
Breast cancer is not only a medical but also a social problem due to the emotional significance attached to female breasts (attribute of womanhood, symbol of maternity) and the fear of the mutilating procedure of mastectomy. One of the factors that influence one’s ability to cope with the difficult situation resulting from the illness as well as with stress is sense of coherence (SOC). SOC allows one to understand the relationship between the support received by an ill person and their health. A high level of SOC allows patients to see the meaning in life, to believe in life’s order and predictability, which in turn makes them want to be healthy and fully functional. One of the external resources that influence one’s health is social support. The purpose of the study was to assess SOC and the meaning of social support received by women after mastectomy as a determinant of regaining optimum health.

The influence of viral, bacterial and parasitic infections on the development of neoplasia
A relationship exists between certain protracted viral, bacterial and parasitic infections on one hand and development of tumours on the other. A relationship was proven between persistent infection with highly oncogenic types of human papilloma virus (HPV) and the development of precancerous lesions and uterine cervical cancer, a significant proportion of cancers of the anus, penis, vulva and vagina, and a lower proportion of cancers of the oral cavity and the larynx (infection with low-oncogenic types of the virus). It is estimated that around 54% of primary hepatic carcinomas worldwide (hepatocellular carcinoma – HCC) are directly linked to persistent infection with hepatitis type B virus (HBV) and 31% of the cancers result from persistent infection with hepatitis type C virus (HCV). Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) induces increased morbidity due to certain malignant tumours. The index diseases for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome include Kaposi sarcoma, non-granulomatous lymphomas, primary cerebral lymphoma and carcinoma of the uterine cervix.

Optimal chemotherapy treatment for patients with advanced colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Each year one million new cases are diagnosed and about 500 000 people die of this disease. Due to the development of research in clinical oncology, many new antineoplastic agents are registered and available in the treatment of CRC, for example irinotecan, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, and the monoclonal antibodies bevacizumab, panitumumab and cetuximab. Introduction of molecularly targeted therapies caused prolongation of median time to progression of the disease as well as median overall survival. The best sequence of the therapeutic options for the achievement of the patients’ benefits and good tolerance of the treatment has not been established. This article contains a review of randomized phase II/III studies and registration trials regarding systemic treatment of CRC. The authors have attempted to translate the results of the studies into treatment optimization.
