APPLICATION OF HEMOFILTERCYTOLOGICAL TESTS FOR ASSIGNING ADJUVANT POLYCHEMOTHERAPHY TO CANCER PATIENTS AND EVALUATING ITS EFFICACY

Abstract

Hemofiltercytological venous blood tests for patients radically operated on for colon cancer reveals circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the early postoperative period. Their results serve as an indication for assigning adjuvant polychemotherapy to post-operative patients. The repeated hemofiltrocytological test on the intensity of CTCs damages and decrease in their number makes it possible to assess the quality and completeness of adjuvant polychemotherapy.
