FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to qualitative differential instant diagnostic technique for benign and malignant periglottis new growths as shown by oral fluid biomarkers. Substance of the method consists in measuring a quantity of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP 2) in patient's oral fluid; the clinical reference is the level of 1.7-2.9 ng/ml; if the MMP 2 content is 14.4-24.3 ng/ml, patient's periglottis papilloma is diagnosed; if the patient's oral fluid MMP 2 content is 4.1-6.8 ng/ml, periglottis cancer is diagnosed. A biomarker for the qualitative differential instant diagnosis of the periglottis new growths is a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP 2); the clinical reference is a level of 6.44-11.23 ng/ml; if the TIMP 2 content 29.25-48.75 ng/ml, patient's periglottis papilloma is diagnosed; the TIMP 2 content being 57.23-95.03 ng/ml, periglottis cancer is diagnosed.
EFFECT: using the declared technique enables providing more accurate differential diagnosis of the benign and malignant periglottis new growths.
