METHOD FOR PREDICTING SURVIVAL RATE IN PATIENTS WITH ENDOMETRIOID CANCER OF UTERINE BODY Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine, oncogynecology.

SUBSTANCE: one should detect estrogen receptors in tumor (X₃) in points and additionally it should be taken into account the duration of menopause (X₁) in years, the stage of the disease (X₂) according to TNM and pathogenetic variant (X₆) of the disease, and in tumor one should detect the index Ki-67 in % (X₄) and expression HER2 (X₅) in points followed by calculating discriminant functions Z=5.4157-0.1889X₁-1.3646X₂+0.1828X₃-0.0354X₄ and Y=5.3183-0.1272X₁-0.7169X₂-0.4347X₅-1.4333X₆, where Z - the criterion of predicting a 5-yr-long relapse-free survival rate in patients; Y - the criterion of predicting the relapse of the disease mentioned and at Z>-0.138 one should predict relapse-free survival rate in patients for 5 yr and more, at Z≤-0.138 - under 5 yr, at Y>0.172 one should predict the absence of the relapse and at Y≤0.172 - the appearance of the relapse.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of prediction.
