Here he worked as a junior researcher, senior researcher, scientific secretary of the Institute. In 1956, he was defended PhD thesis on "Comparative evaluation of materials for surgical sutures and ligatures.

In this period, NN. Trapeznikova formed interest in the field of oncology, the development of which was devoted all his further research - tumors of bone and soft tissue. Under his leadership, work has begun to explore new approaches to therapy of these malignancies, the primary method of treatment which was then the surgical. They were developed principles for the use of regional intra-arterial chemotherapy for extremity sarcomas, which has greatly improved the results of survival.

. The resulting integrated clinical and experimental work materials were compiled and presented in a 1964 doctoral dissertation on "Treatment of primary bone tumors"
. Under the guidance and direct participation of NN. Trapeznikova developed indications for operations in the intact bone tumors. Have been convincingly shown the possibility of chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic osteogenic sarcoma.

In 1965 NN. Trapeznikov head and since then stretch supervises the general office of Oncology Rossiyskogo Cancer Research Center. In 1967 he was awarded the academic title of professor specializing in oncology.

. In his numerous works of NN. Trapeznikov established principles of restorative treatment of such patients. General Oncology Clinic team has developed and implemented techniques Express prosthesis after amputation and joint replacement. Until the cycle of these studies conduct prosthesis of large joints in cancer is not widely applied. This approach greatly accelerated the process of rehabilitation of patients, and in many cases, even allowed to recover their full capacity to work. Under the direction of NN. Trapeznikova were developed original domestic titanium implants of the knee, shoulder and hip joints, which fully restores the function of limbs and at the same time much cheaper than their foreign counterparts. The originality of the number of established structures was confirmed by three inventor's certificates.

The priority, relevance and efficiency of research and development, led by NN. Trapeznikov, were highly appreciated by the scientific and medical community of the country. In 1974 he was elected a corresponding member of Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, and in 1978 - a full member of Academy of Medical Sciences (since 1992 - Academy of Medical Sciences).

In 1977, NN. Trapeznikova with a group of collaborators to work on experimental studies, clinical development and application of the method of large bone allografts man was awarded the State Prize of the USSR. In the future successful development of this field of oncology has been twice prizes Academy of Medical Sciences behalf NN. Petrova (1980, 1987).

NN. Trapeznikova was characteristic of the desire to carry out extensive and multidisciplinary research in oncology. In the late 1970's - early 1980's series of works in the field of immunoassay, immunotherapy and immunochemotherapy tumors nominated NN. Trapeznikov in a number of prominent clinical immunologists. The most important parts of this trend is specific and nonspecific immunotherapy of malignant tumors, immunochemotherapy and prevention of metastasis in melanoma of the skin, immunotherapy by activated lymphocytes from patients. At that time, the use of interleukins was a completely new approach to cancer therapy. He led a co-operative study of the effectiveness of various treatments for melanoma, and sarcomas.

Advances in clinical and experimental oncology have led to the election NN. Trapeznikova in 1997 a full member (academician) of the Russia Academy of Sciences of the Office of physiology.

In recent years, NN. Trapeznikov led the work on joint replacement bones and joints in patients with bone tumors. Widely used total knee and hip joints, the diaphysis of the femur, the proximal end of the shoulder of the new izoplasticheskogo material that allows to solve some problems of stable fixation of implants. Developed have stored the operation in patients with primary and recurrent tumors of the pelvic bones. The analysis of the treatment of sarcomas of soft tissue on various schemes over a long period of the Division of General Oncology. The expediency of an integrated approach to therapy with the use of organ-surgical interventions, highly active anticancer drugs, radiation therapy, the impact on the immune status of an organism. Application of modern chemotherapy regimens intact during surgery for osteogenic sarcomas allowed to increase 5-year survival from 10-12 to 50 percent.

. Among the developments introduced in recent years stands extrafocal method of compression-distraction osteosynthesis spokes-rod type Ilizarov apparatus for treatment of pathological fractures of long bones
. Together with the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, Moscow Medical Academy named after IM. Sechenov developed a technique for surgical decompression of the spinal cord in metastatic lesions of the spine. The successful introduction of methods of bone, muscle and vascular plasticity in the surgical treatment of sarcomas of bone and soft tissue.

. Progress in this direction results in 1999 were marked by the awarding of authors under the direction of NN
. Trapeznikova RF State Prize in Science and Technology for the work "Development and introduction into clinical practice of combined treatments for osteogenic sarcoma.

Trapeznikov singled secondary prevention (early detection of cancer through screening programs), . promotion of basic science, . associated with establishing the causes and mechanisms of tumor development, . further improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, . issues of information support and training for cancer network Russia,
