Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

The surgeon must have the knowledge, skill, and judgment required to successfully perform the intended surgical procedure and any deviations necessitated by unforeseen difficulties.
Reviews anatomy, physiology, and the surgical procedure.
The coordinated role
The circulator and the scrub nurses should plan their duties so that, through coordination of their efforts, the sterile and the unsterile parts of the surgical procedure move along simultaneously.
From the time the scrub nurse starts the surgical scrub until the surgical procedure is completed and dressings are applied, an invisible line separates the duties of the scrub nurse and the circulator, which neither person may cross.
In the previous sections, the responsibilities of both the scrub and circulating nurses are listed separately, but a spirit of mutual cooperation is essential to move the schedule of surgical procedures efficiently and to serve the best interests of the patient.
As a coordinated effort, the scrub nurse and the circulator nurse should complete the preparation of the environment.
The operating team members should be accountable for the performance of quality patient care.
