title: [Potential of modern urology in palliation of cancer].
abstract: The paper deals with certain issues in present-day oncology and introduction of the most efficient endourological procedures to improve quality of life. Most cancer patients suffer urological cancer-related and postoperative complications. Oncologists are often confronted with such problems as disturbed passage of urine in colorectal and gynecological cancers, radiation injury and surgery-induced impairment of the urinary tract and urolithiasis in cancer patients. Diagnostic and therapeutic potential of modern urology and novel approaches intended to improve quality of life in cancer patients with urological complications are discussed.
