METHOD FOR DETECTING POSTOPERATIVE RECURRENT CEREBRAL MALIGNANT GROWTH Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/49 G01N33/483 G01N33/487 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves preparation of a patient's blood serum sample by drying, grinding and suspending in Vaseline oil; then the sample is examined by infrared spectroscopy in 1200-1000 cm^-1 to determine a peak height of absorption bands with maximums 1150, 1130, 1125 cm^-1 that is followed by the calculation of the relation of the peak heights with maximum 1150 cm^-1 to the peak height with maximum 1130 cm^-1 in males and the relation of the peak height with maximum 1150 cm^-1 to the peak height with maximum 1125 cm^-1 in females. The blood serum sample immediately follows the performed growth surgery, and thereafter in progression, preferentially monthly. If observing increase of the relation of the peak height with maximum 1150 cm^-1 to the peak height with maximum 1130 cm^-1 in a male patient and the relation of the peak height with maximum 1150 cm^-1 to the peak height with maximum 1125 cm^-1 in a female patient by the value of 0.5±0.015 as compared to the relation value derived from the previous sample examination, the recurrent cerebral malignant growth is stated.

EFFECT: use of the method enables stating the postoperative recurrent cerebral malignant growth at the early stages.
