[Assessment of the immunological status of chondrosarcoma patients]

The immunological status was investigated in 40 patients with chondrosarcoma of clinical stages II and III. The radical operation was made in 40 patients, the polychemotherapy was applied to 10 of them in the early period and 3,6 and 12 months after the operation (sarcolysin, vincristine, carminomycin in generally accepted doses). A decrease in indices of the system of cellular and humoral immunity is established to occur in patients with chondrosarcoma. During a year after the operation the immunity indices restore gradually.
