METHOD OF ESTIMATING EFFICIENCY OF NEOADJUVANT CHEMICAL THERAPY OF URINARY BLADDER CANCER Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/52 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention represents method of estimating efficiency of neoadjuvant chemical therapy of urinary bladder cancer by patient examination during which performed is registration of maximal intensity of autofluorescence of tumour tissues in green spectrum area at the stage of primary diagnostics and 1 month after carrying out pre-operation chemical therapy, and in case of increase in patient of values of maximal intensity of autofluorescence of tumour tissue by 15% from initial ones and more, treatment efficiency is estimated as partial regression of tumour process, if there are no changes in indices of tumour tissue autofluorescence intensity in comparison with initial ones, stability of process is determined, if indices of tumour tissue autofluorescence intensity reduce by 15% and more in comparison with initial ones, tumour process progressing is determined.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to estimate treatment results with high reliability.
