METHOD OF CHEMORADIATION THERAPY OF LOW-LOCATED TUMOURS OF RECTUM AND ANAL CANAL Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61N5/06 A61M36/00 A61K51/00 A61K31/7068 A61P35/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, oncology, and can be used for chemoradiation therapy of low-located tumours of rectum and anal canal. For this purpose standard teleirradiation is performed. Additionally performed is conformal intraluminal brachytherapy of high power dose 5-10 Curie 4-6 irradiation sessions with reference dose 3.5 Gy at depth of 10 mm from irradiation source. In addition, on daily basis derivative of capecitabine fluoropyrimidines in amount 600 mg/m² is introduced per os.

EFFECT: method allows to increase treatment efficiency, increase local response of tumour and reduce risk of metastases development due to exposing tumour to higher tumoricidal doses of irradiation and adding brachytherapy, intake of capecitabine enhancing local regress and reducing risk of tumour metastasis.
