METHOD OF DETERMINING PROGRESSION OF CANCER OF ABDOMINAL CAVITY ORGANS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61B5/53 A61B5/107 A61K38/43 A61P3/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to oncology and can be used to determine progression of cancer of abdominal cavity organs. For this purpose dynamic examination of patient after surgical treatment is carried out. Change of patient's body composition is determined at the background of nutritive-metabolic therapy 1 time per not less often as 28-30 days by means of bioimpedance analysis. Body weight, index of body weight, fat mass, as well as mass of extracellular liquid are assessed. If body weight, index of body weight decrease and/or fat mass decreases with simultaneous increase of extracellular liquid mass in comparison with the previous results of bioimpedance analysis, progression of cancer of abdominal cavity organs in patient is determined.

EFFECT: method ensures 100% accuracy of early determination of tumour progression in patients before X-ray manifestation, which provides possibility of earlier start of chemo-radiotherapy and prolong patient's life span.
