Description
Cellular immunity in terms of peripheral total lymphocyte count, T-cell and B-cell subsets, was evaluated in 53 patients having malignant tumors of various organs. Their immune status was depressed as compared to 26 control subjects. The mean T-cell count, initially 29.% of total lymphocytes, reached 22.0% at the completion of radiotherapy. B-lymphocytes were not as markedly decreased during treatment. No difference in response was found according to the site of cancer and irradiation. (author). 8 refs., 2 tabs
