Sažetak

Liječenje onkoloških bolesnika mora se temeljiti na multidisciplinarnom pristupu, a provodi se u specijaliziranim onkološkim centrima. Nakon završetka specifičnog onkološkog liječenja daljnje praćenje uglavnom provode onkolozi, ali je uloga liječnika primarne zdravstvene zaštite (PZZ) sve važnija i potrebno ju je jasno definirati. Trenutačno se većina preporuka za praćenje ne temelji na prospektivnim studijama, već se zasniva na stručnim mišljenjima pojedinih onkoloških centara ili specijalista. Hrvatsko društvo za internističku onkologiju (HDIO) ovim preporukama želi standardizirati i racionalizirati dijagnostičke postupke u praćenju onkoloških bolesnika nakon završetka primarnog liječenja, u bolesnika s ­rakom bubrega, rakom mokraćnog mjehura, rakom prostate i rakom testisa.

Summary

The treatment of oncological patients must be based upon multidisciplinary approach, and takes place in specialized oncological centers. By the end of a specific oncological treatment further follow-up is being managed mostly by the oncologists, but the role of the general practitioners becomes more important every day and therefore should be precisely defined. Nowadays, most of the existing follow-up guidelines are not based on prospective studies, but on the experts opinion of individual oncological centers or specialists. The aim of the Croatian Society of Medical Oncology (CSMO) with these recommendations is to standardize and rationalize the diagnostic procedures algorithm in the follow–up of ­oncological patients after primary treatment, in patients with renal cell cancer, urinary bladder cancer, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
