METHOD FOR DETERMINING PROPENSITY FOR ONCOLOGICAL DISEASES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B5/103 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: for determining propensity for oncological diseases, dermatoglyphic pattern parameters are determined. There are determined a whorl type and a ridge estimate on phalanxes; a ridge estimate ab, bc, cd on palms; an angle atd, a termination direction of main palmar lines A, B, C and D into the palmar fields; arrangement of palmar and axial triradius; patterns in a ball of thumb, a hypothenar eminence and in interdigital fields. The derived parameters are used to diagnose genetic propensity for lung, stomach or breast cancer. A probability of developing oncological diseases is higher in the presence of such non-genetic factors, as ecological contamination of a place of residence and a working area, the presence of cancer in first-degree relatives, social habits - smoking and alcohol, and with the age. A degree of a risk of lung cancer also increases in males having chronic, non-specific pulmonary diseases, tuberculosis in past history. A degree of a risk of stomach cancer also increases in males having chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer in past history, consuming spicy and greasy food. A probability of breast cancer is higher in the presence of gynaecological diseases in past history, in increased number of induced and natural abortions, increased number of pregnancies and decreased number of deliveries, later onset of mensis and earlier onset of menopause.

EFFECT: method enables determining propensity for oncological disease on the basis of 'a complex of genetic and non-genetic factors'.
