METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF PROSTATE CANCER GRADE

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: prostate cancer grade is predicted by a biochemical analysis of blood serum for a level of matrilysin and a soluble Fas-antigen (sFas). If the total concentration is up to 7.0 ng/ml, a non-malignant process is stated; the total concentration falling within 7.0 to 12.0 ng/ml shows a moderate grade, while a high grade is stated if the total concentration exceeds 12.0 ng/ml.EFFECT: invention enables predicting the prostate cancer grade exactly on the basis of an integrated assessment of serological risk factors correlated with the Gleason's pattern.1 tbl, 3 ex
