LIFE SPAN PREDICTION METHOD FOR PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM MUCINOUS OVARIAN CARCINOMA

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine and covers life span estimate for the treated patients suffering from mucinous ovarian carcinoma. Life span for the expectancy of patients suffering from mucinous ovarian carcinoma is predicted by estimating some morphological tumour parametres. Life span in months is evaluated by formula: LS_(month)=58.15-0.187*X₁-0.108*X₂+0.707*X₃-5.104*X₄ where X₁ is the average area of tumour cell (mcm²) measured by an eyepiece micrometre or a television image analyser; X₂ is the average area of tumour stroma vessels (mcm²) counted by eyepiece micrometre or a television image analyser; X₃ is a number of free cells of tumour stroma (piece) counted up per 10000 mcm² of stroma area with using a television image analyser; X₄ is a volume concentration of necrosis in tumour node (%) measured with morphometric grids or a television image analyser.;EFFECT: higher accuracy of life span evaluation in patients suffering from mucinous ovarian carcinoma; reduction of number of calculated variables, makes it possible to apply the method in planning the management tactics, and also in the therapeutic decision.;2 ex
