METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF PANCREATIC CANCER AND CHRONIC PANCREATITIS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to oncology and gastroenterology, and can be used to select a pancreatic disease management approach. Patient is examined for blood values and ultrasonography is performed. Each index is assigned, depending on the degree of severity, the points as corresponding coefficients: K₁, K₂, K₃, K₄ and so forth up to K₃₅. K = (K₁+K₂+K₃+K₄+K₅+K₆+K₇+K₈+K₉+K₁₀+K₁₁+K₁₂+K₁₃+K₁₄+K₁₅+K₁₆+K₁₇+K₁₈+K₁₉+K₂₀+K₂₁+K₂₂+K₂₃+K₂₄+K₂₅+K₂₆+K₂₇+K₂₈+K₂₉+K₃₀+K₃₁+K₃₂+K₃₃+K₃₄+K₃₅)/35. Sum of these points is determined, and if the value of the average score is K = 0.75 and less, chronic pancreatitis is diagnosed, while the value K = 0.95 and more shows pancreatic cancer.

EFFECT: method enables providing higher reliability of differential diagnostics at the primary stage of examination of a patient with a pancreatic pathology, reducing labour costs and ensuring availability of clinical indicators, blood indices and ultrasonic indices due to complex mathematical treatment.
