FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining kinetic parameters of the tumor from the digital macrophotography results obtained with known time pause. The kinetic parameters of the tumor are calculated by using formula ϕ = 1,5•In(S2/S1)/ΔT and Td = In2/ϕ, where ϕ is the kinetic coefficient, Td is the tumor volume duplication time, S1 and S2 are the tumor image surfaces on the first and the second photo; ΔTT is the time duration between the photos. Tumor class is defined depending on ϕ and Td values. EFFECT: high accuracy of diagnosis. 8 dwg, 1 tbl
