[Treatment of patients wtih malignant lymphoma with freeze-dried cord blood]

It has been ascertained that in patients with malignant lymphomas, employment of cryopreserved cells of the cord blood (CB) is associated with a high efficiency of therapy of the underlying medical condition. With introduction of CB into the test-system of the donor's blood the T-lymphocytes radiosensitivity has been shown to be increased during the Go- and S-periods of the cell cycle, which fact should be taken account of in planning radiotherapy in oncological patients. A decrease in the level of aneuploid lymphocytes against the background of blast-transformation as a result of transfusion of CB may suggest normalization of the pool of lymphocytes.
