Pathogenetic aspects of the individualization of diagnosis and prevention of metastasis

: Pathogenetic aspects of individualization of prognosis and prevention of metastatic spreading have been studied for many years. The paper presents the results obtained in the course of the study. Prognostic importance of the indices of external respiration, functional activity of macrophages and natural killers, growth-modifying properties of the blood serum and the angiogenic factor content in it is substantiated. The methods of individual antimetastatic therapy with the application of neurotropic drugs and diet restriction as well as with the use of tests of the metastatic cells' sensitivity to different therapeutic influences are suggested.
