DEPARTMENT OF ONCOMMMOLOGY

Department history

 The history has almost 40 years. At the origins of its formation –  a talented scientist and  best  organizer of health care, Professor Dr. med. Makhmudov S.F. headed the department in the period from 1977 to 1997. Under the guidance of prof. S.F. Makhmudov in 1977 a group of onco-mammologists was assembled: Sharipov OF, Egamberdiev O.Yu., Sharapova N.G. And in 1984, the Republican Center for Breast Medicine was opened as part of the department. From 1997 to 2012, the department was headed by Prof. Dr. med. A.V. Khodjaev   From 2012 to today, the Department of onco-mammology is headed by Dr. med. L.T. Alimhodjaeva, head of MD. N.E. Makhmudova.

Directions of our department

The department has a unique experience in treating the entire spectrum of breast diseases, ranging from benign tumors to background diseases (all types of mastopathy), which are an optional or obligate precancerous process. The main research areas of the department are: the study of the pathogenesis of breast cancer, the development and improvement of methods of organ-preserving and functionally-sparing surgical treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms, including reconstructive plastic surgery. Taking into account the results of modern survey methods, individual, personalized treatment approaches are developed. More than a third of patients with the initial stages of breast cancer manage to preserve the mammary gland and achieve good aesthetic results. All the most modern types of surgical interventions that meet international standards are introduced into the practice of the department. Preference is given to various types of quadrantectomy with simultaneous reduction of the mammary gland parenchyma, as well as radical operations with simultaneous reconstruction of their own tissues, including the use of a skin-muscular flap based on the widest back muscle (TDL) with the formation of vascular anastomoses and the use of microsurgical techniques. If it is impossible to perform organ-preserving surgery, in particular, with a multicentric tumor growth, a radical mastectomy is performed with simultaneous plastic surgery with its own tissues. More than 70% of patients receive highly effective combined and complex treatment using the most modern drugs. Based on the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated April 4, 2017 No. PP-2866 “On measures for further development of the oncological service and improvement of oncological assistance to the population of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2017-2021”: an integral system has been created providing oncological medical care to the population. The department staff conducts monthly visits to all regions of our Republic, with the goal of firstly examining women in the field, identifying early forms of cancer and precancerous breast diseases, conducting master classes and raising the level of primary care physicians, developing pilot screening programs for early detection of breast cancer.

Types of surgical interventions performed in the department:

-Sectoral resection of the mammary gland with  no-oncological tumors.-Radical resection of the mammary gland with simultaneous reconstruction of local tissues (oncoplastic resection). -Including using the skin-muscle flap based on the latissimus dorsi (TDL) with the formation of a vascular anastomoses and the use of microsurgical techniques.-Quadrantectomy with simultaneous reduction of the breast parenchyma and axillary lymph node dissection.-Radical resection of the mammary gland with simultaneous mast reduction of both mammary glands according to BATWING.-Radical mastectomy for Madden.

The scientific work of the department

The main scientific activity of the department is the search and use of new, effective methods of treating patients with breast cancer. New diagnostic methods based on molecular biological, genetic, immunohistochemical studies are being developed.These approaches, in turn, allow you to individualize treatment tactics. Researchers and post-graduate students of the department perform a number of important and modern scientific research, regularly speak at international medical congresses, and undergo training at leading clinics in Europe.Employees of the department published more than 270 articles and abstracts. More than 10 methodical recommendations, 4 monographs, 18 patents for invention were issued. The department is working on a grant. PZ 201709245 “Development of methods for predicting breast cancer in young women on the basis of molecular genetic and pathological aspects.” And also the dissertation work on the topic: “The role of molecular biological markers in the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer in young women.” Candidate junior researcher L.T. Zakirova.
