Abstract

Electrical response of electro-active points (EAP) in reflexogenic areas of body surface that are communicated with the uterus was examined in 146 patients, admitted to hospital for surgical treatment of benign or malignant genital tumors. Thirty normal females were taken as controls. Specific time needed for EAP potential to become close to constant or the bend point to emerge was shown to be the most certain indicator of proliferation. There was a correlation between temporal parameters of EAP response and the presence and activity of uterine proliferation.
