AN ORIGINAL PC PROGRAM FOR REGISTRA- TION, STORAGE AND ANALYSIS OF DATABASE ABOUT PATIENTS WITH BRAIN TUMORS.

An original PC program developed and designed for registration, storage and analysis of database about patients with primary and secondary brain tumors was presented. The so called “Program for operation of hospital charts of patients with brain neoplasms ” was based on information from routine and modern clinical, instrumental and immuno-logical methods for diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis. It was designed as a PC model of a chart for registration with unique mode of operation of patients ’ entry characteristics, forming of their results into database and opportunity for calculation and prognosis of exit parameters such as prob-able survival rate and etc. The main task of the program was to provide a use-ful data for the investigated patients with brain tumors. It was achieved by application of a real chart for collection and extraction of filtrated information about clinical cases with similar characteristics. The entire operation of the da-tabase was set up by Microsoft OLEDBDC driver 2003. The integral functionality concerning screen imaging, entry, cor-rection, erasure, search and calculation of data was realized with program language Microsoft Visual C # 2003. The pre-sented program was highly informative and easily available for routine administration in the neuro-oncological practice.
