Diagnosis of malignant tumors on the basis of the current generating capacity of malignant tumorous tissue. II. Study of the malignant tumors of female genital organs.
Description of an electrochemical measuring method for the in vivo quick-diagnosis of malignant tumors and dysplastic alterations of the cervical epithelium is given. The measuring results carried out in 660 cases on the surface of the cervical epithelium are reported. The current generating capacity of planocellular carcinoma of the cervical epithelium exceeds the upper limit of the normal value with 40% and is significantly higher than the values measured in dysplastic areas. With the aid of measuring, dysplastic alteration are demonstrable even in cases, in which the cytologic or coloposcopic examination is not indicative of dysplasia. Measurings in the benign and malignant tumorous tissue were carried out with needle electrode in 41 cases, during operation. The current generating capacity of malignant tumors exceeded with 150--170% the values measured in the healthy tissue, respectively in benign tumorous alterations.
