METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF ONSET OF MALIGNANT GROWTH Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: determining the immune values of saliva enables calculating a local immunity coefficient (K_mim), specifically interleukin 1, interleukin 6, tumour necrosis factor, while the local immunity coefficient is derived by formula:

wherein K_mim is the local immunity coefficient (standard units); IL1 is the saliva interleukin 1 concentration (pg/ml); IL6 is the saliva interleukin 6 concentration (pg/ml); TNG is the saliva concentration of tumour necrosis factor (pg/ml), and if the value K_mim>139.0, a high risk of developing malignant growths is stated, while the value K_mim<139.0 enables to state no risk.

EFFECT: method enables higher prediction accuracy of the onset of malignant growths with accessibility, simplicity, low power consumption and cost prices as comparison with laboratory-instrumental methods.
