METHOD OF TREATING SPINE TUMOURS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61M25/01 A61K31/282 A61P35/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: transpedicular transdermal puncture of vertebra body is performed with trocar needle. After that, venospondilography is carried out, and time of appearance of contrast substance in bodies of adjacent vertebrae is determined. After that, catheter is introduced into lumen of trocar needle. Catheter and port are implanted subcutaneously with further introduction of cytostatics with injectomat through port-system. Rate and minute volume of cytostatics introduction are calculated by time of contrasting of adjacent vertebrae in the process of venospondilography. For thoracic part volume of cytostatics must not exceed 2-2.5 cm³ for the time of filling adjacent vertebrae with contrast, with volume being from 3 to 4.5 cm³ for lumbar part.

EFFECT: effective treatment of patients with spine tumours due to introduction of anti-tumour chemical preparations directly into body of vertebra, affected with tumour or metastasis, which makes it possible to increase concentration of chemical preparations directly in tumour and results in reduction of its continued growth or recurrence.
