title: [Malignant tumors involving the skull base: methods of treatment and results].
abstract: The paper presents experience with surgical and combined treatment of 197 patients with malignant tumors involving the skull base and extracranially originating. The authors have defined indications for and contraindications to different types of surgical treatment, developed methods for radical and palliative tumor removal, which are based on a comprehensive approach considering the basic principles of oncology and neurosurgery. Assessing the immediate and long-term results of surgical treatment by mathematical statistical methods could reveal the major factors influencing survival rates in patients after surgery and the duration of a relapse-free period.
