Definition of the efficacy of prostate cancer treatment within the near terms

Abstract

In view of necessity to execute the complex estimation of the methods of the prostate cancer (PC) treatment within the near terms, an integral value of the treatment efficacy is suggested – coefficient of the treatment efficacy. To calculate it the one needs to know a value of increase of the prostate specific antigen level, prostate volume, residual urine amount and the value of the scale of estimation of disturbances of urination IPSS for a fixed time. Coefficient of the treatment efficacy is calculated by calculating of the quotient of the product of the values increases by the sum of the valued increases. To standardize estimation of the treatment efficacy, the calculation of scale of the efficacy with evaluating low, medium and high levels of efficacy is performed.
Estimation of the different variants of treatment of PC depending on advance of the pathologic process in 468 patients is executed.
