Daria Starova treatment. “Daria is no more”: a resident of Apatity, who told Putin about problems with doctors in the region, died of cancer. hope dies last

Hopes that came true and dreams that came true. Daria Starikova, the whole country learned about her on June 15 this year, held complex operations, and now she can return home with a completely different mood.

This is her first public appearance, and even though there is still a timid, modest smile on her face, Daria Starikova says thank you to everyone who worried about her, wrote letters, and simply helped fight the terrible cancer.

“I feel great compared to when I first arrived here. Now, naturally, the impressions are different, and you think differently,” shares Dasha.

Now Daria is already gaining weight, almost 40 kilograms, and she was admitted with a critically low body weight. Doctors feared whether the body could withstand intensive treatment.

“The tumor was large, we managed to completely remove the tumor, as it should be according to all the laws of oncology. Several courses of chemotherapy were carried out - both before the operation to reduce the tumor, and after the operation to consolidate the success. In a few more months we will have a reconstructive operation, which will be easier,” said Andrei Kaprin, director of the Moscow Research Oncology Institute named after P. A. Herzen.

The most difficult and painful stages of treatment took place in this ward. But she held on - for the sake of her six-year-old daughter and loved ones.

“Do not lose heart under any circumstances! It is very important! It's hard, it's mentally hard, but people, never give up! Still, we have to fight!” - Dasha calls.

Daria - and simply fragile Dasha Starikova, left alone with her illness - was brought to the Herzen Oncological Institute six months ago. And all this time, our colleagues, employees of Channel One, visited her. Those who were with her when she turned to the president for help literally lost consciousness.

“Our maternity hospital was closed, our surgery department, our cardiology department was closed. Everything was transported to Kirovsk, a neighboring city. We have ambulance doesn’t have time to deliver!” - the girl turned to the president.

In her native Apatity, she was given an incorrect diagnosis, and time was lost. As a result, the 24-year-old girl has terminal cancer. But she didn’t ask for herself; she had no hope of a cure. She asked for better medical care for the city and for other patients.

“I don’t know what the health care organizers in this region, including Apatity, proceeded from, perhaps from purely formal things, that this city, Kirovsk, was not far away. We'll definitely take a look. Either this one needs to be completed, or the old hospital needs to be restored. We will work, I promise you. But, Dasha, as for your problem, we will also work on this. OK?" - said the head of state.

An oncology office has now opened in Apatity, where patients undergo chemotherapy, and a hemodialysis department. And Dasha says fateful meetings bring her back to life.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich gave me a wizard - Andrei Dmitrievich. The person who saved my life, gave me a second life, hope for the future,” says Dasha.

For the upcoming holidays, Dasha Starikova is allowed to go home, where her six-year-old daughter Sonya is waiting for her, who has no idea about the imminent meeting.

Considering the complexity of the operation and the severity of her condition, Dasha will remain under the radar of doctors for a long time. But that's after. Now it's a family New Year, house!

Daria Starikova from the Murmansk region died in one of the capital's hospitals. The girl had stage four cancer. As Daria said during a direct line with Vladimir Putin due to a shortage medical institutions It was in her hometown of Apatity that she was first misdiagnosed.

"We don't have enough narrow specialists, thanks to which it would be possible to diagnose people on time. Our maternity hospital was closed, the surgical department was closed, the cardiology department was closed, everything was moved to a neighboring city. We have to go and seek help there, and also for difficult operations, for the necessary examinations, we are sent to Murmansk - this is a five-hour drive from us,” Dasha then said to the head of state.

Vladimir Putin promised to help Starikova and kept his word. The doctor began treating the 25-year-old girl medical sciences, Honored Doctor of Russia, Academician of the Academy of Sciences, Head of the National Medical Research Center for Radiology of the Ministry of Health Andrey Kaprin. An operation was performed to remove the tumor. As experts reported, it was successful. “Before and after the operation there were courses of chemotherapy, first to reduce the tumor, and then to consolidate the success after its removal. We used both imported drugs and Russian generic drugs,” said Kaprin.

Dasha had no metastases or tumors after surgical intervention. A few months later, she was allowed to return to her hometown to see her daughter. People from all over the country were worried about Dasha. She thanked those who cared during a press conference, which was broadcast on television. “This is very important in this life, when you are not alone in fighting your illness. This life is very hard and scary. I wish everyone who is fighting to fight to the end,” Starikova noted.

As you know, on the recommendations of doctors, Dasha returned to Moscow for another examination. It has not yet been reported what exactly provoked the death of the resident of the Murmansk region. The administrator of the VKontakte group, which was dedicated to Daria, confirmed that the cancer patient had died. “It’s true,” Anna wrote in the comments. Netizens are wondering who her six-year-old child will now stay with.

Afterwards it became clear that Dasha’s appearance on television was, let’s say, not a simple accident, but one of the acts of a political game in which a dying person was used. She was diagnosed 4 years ago, and Starikova did not receive any refusals for treatment - because she did not go to the doctors. And in the end I only got to them by ambulance, when it was almost impossible to do anything.

There is absolutely no need to dance on the bones, this is how her life turned out. Sometimes doctors do the impossible - the best doctors in the country fought for Dasha for a year. But they couldn't save her. The seven-year-old daughter remained in the arms of her aunt. The girl will be given a pension with an additional payment up to the cost of living - 12.5 thousand rubles.

Last year's TV story about Starikova did not become a sensation - it was about her depressing condition cancer care not only in the Murmansk region, but almost everywhere, those who have encountered such a diagnosis are well aware. But, as usual, instead of a thorough investigation and real attempts to change the situation, a demonstrative flogging of the head physician of the Kirov Central District Hospital, Yuri Shiryaev, who wrote a letter of resignation, began immediately. at will(Kirovsk and Apatity are twin cities, 15 km between them, the central district hospital is located in Kirovsk). The doctor’s patients defended him: after campaigning for Shiryaev’s return, he withdrew his statement.

However, as Novaya was told in Investigative Committee, a criminal case under the article “Negligence”, initiated at lightning speed after that direct line, is still being investigated. There are no real plans to build the unfinished hospital in Apatity, promised by Putin on live television. And thank God - a multibillion-dollar budget, if any, more than expected, will fall on Murmansk medicine, it would be much more important to invest in the reconstruction of the regional oncological clinic - if we are seriously talking about helping cancer patients. This year, amid a scandal, one of its buildings was renovated. But the radiological equipment there is still from the 1980s and periodically breaks down.

Reporting to the regional Duma, Governor Marina Kovtun recently announced sharp decline mortality from neoplasms: by 7.3% in 2017. True, if you look at the data from Murmanskstat, you can see that at the beginning of 2018, 10% more people died from cancer than in the same period of the previous year: 236 people versus 216.

In addition, the mortality rates do not include deaths outside the region - and more and more northerners are diagnosed with cancer in the late stages, and in their last hope they go to large medical centers for treatment. The FlashNord news agency, citing its sources in the regional Ministry of Health, reported 150 patients who died as a result of incorrect diagnosis. According to the agency, their cancer was “overlooked” and was discovered only at stage 4. The department does not comment on this information in any way. However, several similar stories gained resonance this spring. In particular, the regional Ministry of Health is conducting an investigation into the improper treatment of Nadezhda Vorobyova, who was diagnosed with cancer on late stage. Previously, the woman was treated for migraines, osteochondrosis and anxiety.

Recently, a criminal case was opened regarding the improper provision of medical care to another Murmansk resident, Sergei Pavlov, who was “treated” with vitamins without noticing oncology.

Severomorsk Alexander Smirnov was treated for an ulcer while he was own initiative did not do an ultrasound, which showed a tumor. The tumor turned out to be inoperable. Metastases in the liver and abdominal cavity. According to the man, when he asked why the ultrasound was not done on time at the clinic where he initially went, he received an answer: the institution was fined by insurers for “extra” procedures. And it’s true: in the Murmansk region, contrary to federal legislation, the Territorial Medical Insurance Fund dictates to doctors how, whom and how much to treat. Sometimes you can only get what you are owed for patients who have already been treated through the courts.

To end next year The regional government promises to invest 238 million in the cancer clinic. Given the depressing state of the institution, this will not solve all the problems.

A briefing was held at the Moscow Research Oncological Institute named after P. A. Herzen with the participation of Daria Starikova from Apatity, who, during a “direct line” with Vladimir Putin, spoke about her cancer disease, and academician Andrei Dmitrievich Kaprin, general director Federal State Budgetary Institution "National Medical Research Center of Radiology" of the Russian Ministry of Health.

A resident of the city of Apatity, Murmansk region, 24-year-old Daria Starikova, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, during the “direct line” appealed to Vladimir Putin with a request to eliminate the consequences of the health care reform, which prevented her from making a correct diagnosis in a timely manner and providing her with quality treatment.

According to Daria Starikova, time for her treatment was lost because doctors initially tried to treat her for another disease. The correct diagnosis was made only after her health condition deteriorated greatly and the girl was admitted to the hospital.

“We do not have enough specialized specialists, thanks to whom it would be possible to diagnose people on time. Our maternity hospital was closed, the surgical department was closed, the cardiology department was closed, everything was moved to a neighboring city.

We have to go and seek help there, and also for difficult operations, we are sent to Murmansk for the necessary examinations - this is a five-hour drive from us,” she told the president.

As Vladimir Putin said, a similar story happened at one time with his father - doctors also for a long time could not recognize his cancer, but in the end they managed to diagnose the disease and find effective medicines.

According to the president, despite the significant number commissioned in last years medical facilities, the shortage of specialists remains a serious problem.

“But finally, the most important thing is to ensure accessibility. This is the number one task in medicine today - to ensure accessibility medical care“Vladimir Putin said, promising to understand the situation with the organization of medical care in the region, as well as to provide assistance in solving the problems of Daria Starikova.

As a result of the “direct line” with the president, a criminal case was opened in the Murmansk region on the grounds of a crime under Part 1 of Art. 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (negligence).

Russian oncologists saved the life of Dasha Starikova with stage 4 cancer

According to Daria Starikova, Andrei Dmitrievich is the person who gave her life, gave her hope for the future, and this is the most valuable gift. “I will always be grateful to the people who fight for my life, treat me and support me,” said Daria. “I have always believed that miracles happen, and my example is proof of this.”

Homes where Daria goes to New Year holidays, family and friends are waiting for a five-year-old daughter who really misses her mother, because she hasn’t been home for six months. “I want to surprise her,” Daria smiled. “She opens the door and mom is there.”

“I’m glad that the country’s leadership trusts us, that they did not send the patient abroad,” said A.D. Kaprin. “We constantly felt help and support from the President of the Russian Federation and the Minister of Health.”

During this time, the doctors became friends with Daria. She had a major radical surgery to remove the tumor, and a PET-CT study does not reveal its presence. The treatment is not completed; reconstructive surgery is due in a few months.

Daria underwent several courses of chemotherapy with combination drugs (domestic generics and imported drugs) both before and after the operation. Many consultations took place, and, as Academician Kaprin emphasizes, this applies not only to Dasha: “We never refuse each other in difficult cases, we consult, and make decisions together. Dasha is a great guy, a courageous and patient person. The patient’s faith in us is very important, it is an integral part successful treatment».

The history of Daria Starikova’s treatment is a common occurrence for the national cancer center. For this purpose similar scientific institutions and are created to solve such problems, says A.D. Kaprin. More specialists who have the necessary experience accumulate here, and complex, expensive equipment is concentrated here.

The very course of Daria’s illness was challenging task for doctors, explained Academician Kaprin. A tumor of such localization is usually heterogeneous, that is, it can be represented by more than one pool of cells and develop very quickly.

For example, at the Institute. Herzen is currently observing two girls in whom no more than two weeks have passed from the moment of detection to the moment of tumor progression. And there are frozen tumors that long time are not developing. To identify all these features, you need sophisticated equipment, which Apatity does not have.

During treatment, three or four specialists worked with Daria. A morphologist who talks about the type of tumor and how treatable it is. Clinical pharmacist. A clinical oncologist or chemotherapist who decides, together with the surgeon, how and when to carry out therapy. It is finally the radiation therapist who decides whether and to what extent his treatment will be required.

“The combination of all these specialists is our basic oncological law, so we always say how important it is to be in the hospital under our supervision,” emphasized Academician Kaprin. – Moreover, we invited several specialists from abroad and communicated via teleconference.

Conferred with colleagues - for example, from Science Center obstetrics, gynecology and perinatology named after. Academician V.I. Kulakov, headed by Academician G.T. Dry. Our famous chemotherapists, Academician M.R., took part in the treatment. Lichinitser from the Russian Cancer Research Center named after. Blokhina, V.I. Borisov, Chief Chemotherapist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. He and I often discuss patients, and we never hear a refusal.”

IN postoperative period Specialists from the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology” came to consult Daria, since the patient had critically low body weight. She was watched and actively helped by rehabilitation specialists, clinical psychologists from the Institute of Forensic Psychiatry named after.

Serbsky, because at first the mood was depressive. Gradually, the young girl was pulled out of her illness, and now, in her own words, she increasingly wants to look into the future and make life plans.

“Dasha is far from the only patient with this type of pathology,” emphasized A.D. Kaprin. – I personally operate on about 25 of these girls every year. At the radiological center in Obninsk, we take on approximately 50 such patients a year, and in total we treat approximately 100-120 patients with similar diagnoses.

We are open to everyone, we work according to quotas, so we take in severe patients right away, realizing that for now there is little help for them. The geography is the most extensive - from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka. Therefore, you should not think that the attitude towards Dasha was somehow special. No – we try to help everyone who needs it.”

As Andrei Dmitrievich said, the united consortium of three institutes, which he heads, is the most advanced oncology center today. Every year, up to 12 thousand people undergo surgery here, and 36 thousand people are treated here.

“We take on everything from neurotumors to bone formations, lymphomas, gynecological oncology, urology, thoracic, abdominal patients with abdominal tumors and so on.”

However, it is clear that to help all those in need alone cancer center, even so powerful, is impossible. Andrei Dmitrievich admitted that there is a problem of an acute shortage of specialists locally and, of course, this problem must be solved without relying on a miracle, which happened to Daria Starikova, who managed to get through to the president of the country.

“We have nothing,” Daria emphasized. – In order to get help from an oncologist, you need to go to Murmansk. True, I heard that now, thanks to the intervention of Vladimir Putin, a chemotherapy department is being opened in Apatity, so the situation is slowly changing. But I would still like more serious changes so that no one repeats my experience.”

The lack of specialists for the regions is very serious. Andrei Dmitrievich pins great hopes here on the recently issued Law on Telemedicine. Minister of Health of the Russian Federation V.I. Skvortsova calls on doctors and scientists to conduct teleconferences and create telecommunications.

“For two years now we have been holding such events with thirty regions every Tuesday morning,” shared A.D. Kaprin. “We ask all our colleagues to show seriously ill patients and decide together which of them we take to our place. With the help of such telecommunications, we are going to significantly expand the reach of cancer patients across the country.”

At the same time, according to A.D. Caprina, the situation in the regions is changing in better side. “There are well-armed regions where we are getting fewer and fewer patients,” he said. – Oncology must be equipped with complex, expensive equipment and must employ competent specialists. It is very important".

The other day, according to Andrei Dmitrievich, the Institute named after. Herzen is launching a project with Japanese colleagues, during which they will send pre-scanned glasses with histological samples of the tumor for morphological consultations.

Academician Kaprin plans to implement the same program with regions where there is a large shortage of morphologists, but this is where everything in oncology begins - with recognizing the type of tumor, and therefore searching for those methods with which it can be cured.

“We will seat all our specialists and solve these problems together so that our beautiful young women no longer have the need to call the president of the country about this,” concluded A.D. Kaprin.

Daria Starikova (Apatity) - fight for life. Latest news (updated 05/22/2018)

MURMANSK, May 22. /TASS/. Daria Starikova, who last year contacted Vladimir Putin’s Direct Line, died of cancer in Moscow. The head of the Apatity city administration, Nikolai Bova, told TASS about this.

“Dasha is gone<…>She died in Moscow at the Herzen Cancer Center,” he said.

Bova added that information about the death was received on Tuesday morning. “We won’t just help, we’ll do it. Of course, Dasha last way We are doing it very well. The main assistance will be provided by Phosagro; what depends on the administration has already been done,” the agency’s interlocutor clarified.

He also explained that the municipal administration helped with the registration of guardianship of Dasha’s seven-year-old daughter and a survivor’s pension for the aunt. “She will be buried in the city of Apatity.<…> The exact date I don’t know, but we are doing this and will do everything very well,” said the head of the Apatity administration.

As the press service of the governor of the Murmansk region told TASS, the regional authorities, the administration of Apatity and the Apatit plant will provide assistance to the family of the deceased. “The regional and municipal authorities, as well as the city-forming enterprise Apatit, will provide assistance to Daria’s family,” said the governor’s press secretary Anna Bulatova.

Daria Starikova, who suffers from cancer, and the medical situation in Apatity became widely known after her call to the Direct Line to Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 15, 2017. She said that she was late diagnosed with stage four cancer; before that, she had been treated for a long time for osteochondrosis, and was given massage and injections, which is contraindicated for oncology.

They were able to give her an accurate diagnosis only in Murmansk. Starikova also complained about the lack of a hospital, specialized specialists and other problems in the city. (Updated May 22, 2018 Source tass.ru)

Leading clinics in the country are ready to accept her for treatment. A 24-year-old resident of Apatity, the mother of a six-year-old daughter, told the president that in her city there is not one specialized hospital. The old one was closed, the new one was not completed. As a result, she was misdiagnosed and lost time. Now she asks to help her fellow countrymen. Afterwards, a criminal case of negligence was opened against the doctors who examined the disease.

At night, Daria Starikova’s health sharply worsened, heavy bleeding and had to urgently call an ambulance and take him to a local hospital. After her condition stabilized, the girl was sent by helicopter to Murmansk. “She was taken to intensive care in Kirovsk, and then transported to Murmansk to an oncology clinic,” says Yuri Shiryaev, chief physician of the Kirovo-Apatity Hospital.

Daria Starikova is an orphan. She is raising a six-year-old daughter alone. Dasha's friend Anna Tikhokhod has known her since school. We saw each other almost every day and made plans for the future together. But when the oncologist said the terrible word “cancer,” life changed in an instant. Experiences close friend Anya took it as personal pain. “She doesn’t have a mother. She passed away early, and Dasha was raised by her older brother,” says Anna. “After 18 years, she began to live separately.”

Doctors at the local clinic did not recognize the fatal disease in time and treated him for osteochondrosis. As a result, precious time was lost, and now Dasha has stage 4 cancer. The 24-year-old girl told the president of the country about her misfortune during the “Direct Line”. A few hours after switching on, Dasha suddenly became ill.

“I called her later, and she said that she was very tired, that many people were calling her,” continues Anna Tikhokhod. “She promised to call back later.”

According to doctors, the patient’s condition is now stable, she is receiving all necessary help. The governor also promised to help. A little later, the governor had a difficult conversation with local residents at the clinic.

A few years ago, the Apatity City Hospital was merged with the Kirov Hospital. Regional officials called it optimization. At one time, residents of Apatity had high hopes for the new hospital, but today the 9-story building has turned into a haven for homeless people and alcoholics. Huge building medical center stands in Apatity on the main street. They tried to build it in the late 80s and early 90s, but then the money ran out. Now there's trash everywhere and broken bottles. The abandoned construction site is not guarded by anyone; anyone can get here.

As a result, Apatity was left without pediatric department and maternity hospital. To consult specialized doctors, you have to go to neighboring Kirovsk or Murmansk, and this is at least three hours away.

There are queues everywhere at the clinic. Dozens of people cannot get an appointment. These are mainly pensioners who find it difficult to move. It’s not the first time you manage to get the coveted coupon for an appointment with a doctor. “I have a sick heart, but I come myself, and my son is disabled,” says local resident Lyubov Khodyreva. “I went on Friday to get license plates. I stood there from 10 to 12. And in the end, they gave only five license plates to the cardiologist for everyone.” .

According to local residents, in the city acute shortage narrow specialists. There are not enough nurses and aides in the hospital. Patients often have to buy missing medications themselves. Lyubov Venediktovna was luckier than others today: after two years of waiting, she was given a referral for a free operation.

By reporting to the Direct Line about the state of medicine in Apatity, Dasha Starikova gave her fellow countrymen a chance for qualified help. Already, regional officials are trying to find a way out of this situation.
