Early (preclinical) diagnosis of malignant neoplasms is still a problem that has not found its cardinal solution. Therefore, studies aimed at developing methods for early diagnosis of primary and recurrent cancer are relevant and of scientific and practical interest. In 2002 and 2003, we reported on the experience of electropuncture diagnostics of the latent clinical course of relapses and metastases of cervical cancer [1].

This study is a continuation of previous work. Material and research methods The study included 75 patients with stage 3 cervical cancer who received chemoradiation treatment and were in the 3rd clinical group by the time of R. Voll electropuncture examination (EPDF), i.e. were considered healthy. The observation period for patients was from 3 to 24 months (average 12 months).
