Research undertaken on housing and youth to date primarily focus on those at the very bottom of the social ladder. Nonetheless, a large percentage of youth population around the world is facing a crisis in terms of achieving residential autonomy. This paper attempts to illustrate the possibilities and obstacles that prevent youth from achieving residential independence in Serbia. The data collected in this exploratory study conducted in 2014, on a sample of 312 respondents, is used to analyze some of the most important structural factors (job market, education, financial situation and access to the housing market) in order to assess both current situation and the possible prospects of the youth housing issue in the country. Serbia, as most Southern European countries, has a 'Mediterranean' model of transition to adulthood, which is characterized by great reliance on the family of origin. It has been observed by respondents to this study that the most represented living arrangement was living with parents and that even older cohorts (30 to 35 years old) in most cases continued living with their family of origin to date. As our findings indicate, youth from the sample perceived this residential arrangement more as a consequence of poor financial situation and lack of cheap housing, rather than a desirable choice. It is difficult to predict if there will be significant improvements in the housing affordability or job market situation for youth, therefore the prospect of achieving residential independency for generations to come will remain tremendously challenging. Investigating existing and defining new strategies, in both the family and broader society contexts, is an important task for future research on accessibility of housing and youth residential situation advancement given the importance of this factor in the transition to adulthood.

The prospective study, lasted from January 2010 to January 2015, covered the respondents treated for breast carcinoma. The respondents were divided into 2 groups. First group, group A (59 respondents), included the respondents where the tumour was found in diameter to 2 cm and were operated by breast-sparing surgery. Second group, group B (88 respondents), was consisted of respondents where the tumour was discovered in diameter over 2 cm and which breast amputated as part of a radical cancer surgery by Madden technique. The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of surgical treatment of breast carcinoma with different diameter and influence of tumour diameter on treatment outcome. The parameters for comparison of results were the number of relapses, the time elapsed from surgery to recurrence and treatment outcome. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding the motives for attending breast examination. The incidence of carcinoma in the left or right breast also showed no statistical difference. It was found that the most common breast cancer is in women age between 50 and 70. It has been shown that breast carcinoma with diameter over 2 cm was significantly more frequent in women age of 71 to 80. Recurrent disease was registered in 3 cases in respondents from group A. Recurrence in group B was not registered. Lethal outcome was observed in group B in 4 cases, and in group A in 1 case, which proved to be statistically different.
