METHOD FOR DETERMINING WAY FOR CARRYING OUT REPEATED REMOTE GAMMA-THERAPY IN MALIGNANT CEREBRAL GLIOMA RECURRENCE CASES

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out clinical diagnostic examination and taking material sample from boundary separating intact and tumor tissue zones. Morphometry is applied to blood vessels of 120-130 mc large diameters. Mean blood vessel wall thickness is determined. The value being equal to 20-30 mc, repeated remote gamma-therapy course is prescribed. The value being greater than 30 mc, repeated radiation therapy course is considered to be inexpedient.;EFFECT: differentiated approach to prescribing repeated radiation therapy course; avoided risk of complications.
