METHOD TO DETECT AND TREAT PULMONARY CANCER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, oncology, pulmonology. SUBSTANCE: method deals with investigation of biological material for the presence of fluorescenting cells, at the same time it is necessary to obtain unicellular suspension of pulmonary cells followed by its treatment with 5,10,15,20 - tetrakis/4 - carboxyphenyl porphine for a period of time sufficient to catch its considerable quantity by malignant pulmonary cells, then treated cellular suspension should be kept under ultraviolet irradiation to detect malignant pulmonary cells according to the presence of fluorescenting cells. To treat pulmonary cancer it is necessary to introduce radioactive isotope and porphyrine derivative into a body, namely, the complex of: ⁶⁷CuCu 5,10,15,20 - tetrakis/4 - carboxyphenyl porphine. EFFECT: higher efficiency to obtain a highly contrast method for rapid detection of available malignant cells in vitro and selective irradiation of small obscure malignant tumor areas in patient's lungs. 8 cl, 13 cl, 1 dwg
