Abstract
Patients who practice Islam often refuse the proposed type of treatment for malignant neoplasms, citing religious reasons. Most fear that complete or partial non-retention of urine, the presence of a urostoma (ileal conduit) will violate their ritual purity and, as a result, their religious duties. The consequence of such refusal of treatment may be a lower quality of life, compared with patients of other faiths. Unfortunately, a low awareness of religious responsibilities among surgeons performing pelvic exentesis, cystectomy, prostatectomy, may prevent a full-fledged discussion of these issues before surgery. The presented review of the literature examined studies, legal aspects, and religious arguments that assist doctors in choosing treatment tactics for patients.

Summary
Исповедующие ислам, зачастую отказываются от предложенного вида лечения по поводу злокачественного ново образования, ссылаясь на религиозные причины. Patients who practice Islam often refuse the proposed type of treatment for malignant neoplasms, citing religious reasons. Большинство опасаются, что полное или частичное недержание мочи, наличие уростомы (подвздошного кондуита) нарушат их ритуальную чистоту и, как следствие, их религиозные обязанности.
