METHOD OF PREDICTING EFFICIENCY OF CHEMOTHERAPY IN TREATMENT OF MAMMARY GLAND CANCER Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method includes carrying out examination at hospitalisation stage. In the process of examination determined are: patient's age in years (X1), patient's height in cm (X2), patient's weight in kg (X3), duration of menstrual cycle in case of intact menstruation in days, in case of pre-menopause period or post-menopause quantity of days equals 0 (X4), number of pregnancies in absolute numbers (X5), number of medical abortions in absolute numbers (X6), predominant protein diet, 1 point - yes, 0 points - no (X7). Index of chemotherapy (EfCT) is determined on the basis of obtained data by formula EfCT= (1.99-0.004*X1-0.008*X2+0.001*X3-0.0009*X4-0.013*X5+0.014*X6-0.057*X7)*100%. 1.99 is a free member of the sum, -0.004; -0.008; +0.001; -0.0009; -0.013; 0.014; -0.057 are coefficients. If EfCT value equals 50% and more, chemotherapy is indicated to patient until molecular type of mammary gland cancer is determined. If EfCT value is smaller than 50%, carrying out chemotherapy is not indicated.

EFFECT: method simplifies and accelerates prediction of efficiency of chemotherapy of mammary gland cancer due to application of indirect signs.
