METHOD OF PREDICTING CHEMORADIOTHERAPY EFFICIENCY IN PATIENTS WITH DISSEMINATED SKIN MELANOMA

摘要

FIELD: medicine. ^ SUBSTANCE: in order to realise the method before starting complex treatment content of general triiodthyronine in patients' blood is determined, and if its concentration is within 1.35-1.70 nmole/l reduction of tumour size on 25-50% and more after performing chemoradiotherapy is predicted, if concentration of triiodthyronine is within 0.52-1.10 nmole/l progression of disease after performing chemoradiotherapy is predicted. ^ EFFECT: obtained results of triiodthyronine content in case of chemoradiotherapy are a prognostic factor of treatment efficiency and can be used in treatment of patients with disseminated skin melanoma for timely selection of patients and application of proper treatment tactics. ^ 1 tbl, 2 ex
