METHOD OF PREDICTING OUTCOMES OF PLANOCELLULAR TUMORS OF HEAD AND NECK

摘要

A method of predicting outcomes of squamous carcinomas of the head and neck, comprising determining tumor markers, characterized in that the investigation conducted Immunoassay levels of MMP-2, MMP-9; TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in serum before treatment and at the level of MMP-9 over 550 ng / ml in the level of TIMP-1 more than 230 ng / ml predict decrease PFS and 2-year survival rate, also when TIMP-2 more than 120 ng / ml, MMP-2 of more than 250 ng / ml in addition to said parameters predict a high probability of metastasis.
