[The treatment of nonorganic neoplasms of the lesser pelvis].
In 1967-1989, 330 patients with non-visceral tumors of the small pelvis (children--110 and adults--220) were registered. One hundred and five patients, 17 children included, presented with benign tumors whereas 225 (children--93 and adults--132)--with cancer. Absolute and relative, local and general contraindications to surgery were outlined. The most important criteria are the extent of tumor, patient's status, equipment and surgical skills. Tumors were approached through 9 different accesses depending on their size and site. Surgery wat performed in 242 patients, viz. 89.5% of patients with benign tumors and 65.7% of those with cancer. The percentage of operated children (37.6%) was much lower than that of adults (85.6%) since the former presented with more advanced tumors. Radical surgery was performed in 192 (79.3%) patients; benign tumors were removed in 86.7% whereas cancer--in 44.9%. Complications were encountered in 56.2% of cases, bleeding being the most frequent one (47.0%). Lethality following radical surgery was 3.1%. Radiation and chemotherapy alone proved ineffective. Complex treatment assured better clinical course. One-ten-year survival rate in adults with malignant tumors was 51.2%-31.8%. As few as 17.2% of children survived one year whereas only 6.5%-2 years which points to more aggressive clinical course of malignant non-visceral tumors of the small pelvis in children.
