Predmet istraživanja u radu je međunarodno turističko tržište. Cilj istraživanja je uočavanje najznačajnijih promena i tendencija turističke tražnje i ponude. Globalni turistički trendovi uticali su na pojavu i razvoj selektivnih oblika turizma, među kojima ruralni turizam zauzima značajno mesto.
Introduction/Objective. Locally advanced lung cancer (LC) is often
accompanied with atelectasis of either a part or the entire lung. The aim of
this study was to establish the benefits of brachytherapy on the patients?
quality of life (QoL), the length of the progression free survival (PFS),
and the overall survival (OS) as related to the presence or absence of
atelectasis after the applied treatment. Methods. The total of 100 patients
with locally advanced LC or endobronchial metastasis of other malignancy
were treated with the high dose rate endobronchial brachytherapy (HDR-EBB)
in 2017. For observing the patients? clinical characteristics, the PFS and
OS, the patients were classified into four groups according to the presence
of atelectasis before and after HDR-EBB. Results. After HDR-EBB alone or
combined with other treatment modalities, a statistically significant
symptom alleviation was registered for all the symptoms except cough
(p<0.05). The significantly highest PFS value was registered among the
patients with atelectasis prior but not after HDR-EBB. The longest survival
was registered in the patients who had atelectasis prior to, but not after
HDR-EBB, as well as among the patients without of atelectasis either before
or after EBB. Conclusion. HDR-EBB is an efficient method that improved the
QoL of most patients. There were improved rates of re-aeration after HDR-EBB
treatment alone and as a part of combined treatment. Re-aeration after EBB
is a positive prognostic factor with respect to PFS and OS of these
patients.
Background: Lung cancer is currently the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Past reports have shown an increased incidence of lung cancer in individuals at younger ages, especially under age 40. The purpose of this report is to examine the relationship between lung cancer survival and related factors among individuals <40 versus those over age 40. We examined demographic, clinical and socioeconomic factors, including insurance type. Method: Data for this S776
