METHOD FOR INTRALUMINAL ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION IN KIDNEY CANCER Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61B8/08 A61B1/273 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to surgery and oncology, and can be used for evaluating neoplastic process prevalence in kidney cancer. Ultrasonic gastroscope is conducted through the mouth and occurrence of thrombotic process prevalence on renal veins is evaluated from the following positions: at neoplasm localisation in the left kidney 1 position - through the stomach, 2 - through the descending part of the duodenum and 3 - through the horizontal part of the duodenum. At neoplasm localisation in the right kidney 1 position - through the duodenal bulb, 2 - through the descending part of the duodenum and 3 - through the horizontal part of the duodenum. Thrombotic process prevalence on the subhepatic part of the inferior cava is evaluated from three positions: 1 - from the horizontal part of the duodenum, 2 - from the descending part of the duodenum and 3 - from the duodenal bulb. Thrombotic process prevalence on the intrahepatic vessels is evaluated from three positions: 1 - from the duodenal bulb, 2 - from the antrum and 3 - from the lower one-third of stomach body at small curvature. Thrombotic process prevalence on the cythemolytic part of the inferior cava is evaluated from two positions: 1 - at small curvature of the stomach in the middle one-third, 2 - at small curvature of the stomach in the upper one-third. Thrombotic process intrapericardiac and intra-atrial prevalence is evaluated from three positions: 1 - upper one-third of the stomach, 2 - cardiac pulp and 3 - lower one-third of the oesophagus.

EFFECT: method enables obtaining high-quality image of the tumour and evaluating thrombogenic process prevalence in the vessels due to a sensor in positions which minimize the distance between the sensor and neoplasm or vessel.
