METHOD FOR PREDICTING TUMOR SENSITIVITY TO RADIATION THERAPY IN MAMMARY GLAND CARCINOMA PATIENTS Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves making study dynamics of peripheral blood eosinophiles number changes in the course of radiation therapy. Lymphocytes number being greater than or equal to 0.3 g/l at the fifteenth-thirties day from the beginning of the radiation therapy, high level of tumor sensitivity to radiation is predicted (radiation pathomorphism of III-IV order). Eosinophile value being less than or equal to 3% under the same conditions, low level of tumor sensitivity to radiation is predicted (radiation pathomorphism of I-II order). EFFECT: simplified method. 5 tbl
