METHOD OF PREDICTING DISTANT RESULTS OF URINARY BLADDER CANCER TREATMENT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relaters to medicine, namely to oncology and surgery, and is intended for predicting outcome of treatment of patient with urinary bladder cancer. Determined are depth of tumour invasion into urinary bladder (a₁), histologic type of urinary bladder cancer (a₂), histopathologic gradation of urinary bladder cancer (a₃), tumour sensitivity to PCT (a₄), volume of performed treatment (a₅), diseases of genitourinary system, leading to infravesical obstruction (a₆), tumour localisation (a₇). After that, prediction of distant results of urinary bladder cancer treatment is determined by formula: y = a₀+a₁x+a₂x+a₃x+a₄x+a₅x+a₆x+a₇x, where a₀ (free member) = -1.35, a₁ = 0.26, a₂ = 0.13, a₃ =0.22, a₄ = 0.41, a₅ = 0.37, a₆ = 0.15, a₇ = 0.06, x is numerical value, taken for certain patient and selected from table 1 given in description, depending on type and degree of parameters of prognostic factors (a₁ - a₇). Prediction is considered good if y lies within the interval 0-2.5, prediction is considered to ne satisfactory if the number is within the interval 2.6-3.5, prediction is considered to be doubtful if y value is within the interval 3.6-4.5, prediction is considered unsatisfactory if y value is larger than 4.6.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to determine prediction prospectively, optimise treatment tactics and form complex of measures of tertiary prevention.
