[Blast transformation of the peripheral lymphocytes in cervical cancer during the radiotherapy process]

The reaction of blast-transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied in 60 patients with cervical cancer depending on a stage and radiotherapy applied. A progression of the tumor process reduces the capacity of peripheral blood lymphocytes for blasttransformation in the FHA stimulated culture. The conducted radiotherapy would enhance a suppression of functional properties of T-lymphocytes. The use of the blasttransformation reaction seems to be possible for estimation of changes in the cellular immunity in oncological patients during radiotherapy.
