Ambulantný screening tumorovmostomozočkového uhlav

V práci sa prezentuje ambulantný screening tumorov mostomozočkového uhla. Screeningbol prevzatý z literatúry a bol overený na 21 pacientoch s tumorom mostomozočkového uhla, ktoríboli operovaní na našom pracovisku. Umožňuje komplexné zhodnotenie stavu pacienta a tým dobrúselekciu na vyšetrenie NMR už v ambulantnej otorinolaryngologickej praxi. Používanie screeningunevyžaduje dovybavenie ambulancie finančne drahými prístrojmi. Tento screening je dobrýmdoplnkom aj v klinickej diagnostike.
