DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR MORPHOLOGICAL FORMS OF PROSTATE CANCER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/49 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention describes a differential diagnostic technique for morphological forms of prostate cancer involving the examination of a blood serum sample, the processing of the derived data and the diagnosis of diseases wherein the examination is preceded by introducing chemical reagents in the blood serum sample, namely: phosphate buffer with pH 7.4-7.5, ferric sulphate (FeSO₄) and hydrogen peroxide, light flux generated by conducting the chemical reaction; maximum luminous intensity (Imax) and light sum (S) characterising light emission for the first 30 seconds are recorded and measured; if observing the maximum luminous intensity (Imax) more than 3.2 mV and the light sum (S) more than 24.9 mV, prostate cancer is diagnosed as a tumour with infiltrating growth, while the value Imax being equal to or less than 3.2 mV and the value S equal to or less than 24.9 mV enable diagnosing prostate cancer without infiltrating growth.

EFFECT: invention allows performing high-accuracy differential diagnosis of morphological forms of prostate cancer, namely infiltrative and non-infiltrative forms of prostate cancer, the technique is economic and easy to implement.
