[Functional and histochemical parameters of the neutrophil state in patients with malignant tumors]

A functional state of neutrophils was studied by their ability to chemotaxis and phagocytosis as well as their enzymatic activity (myeloperoxidase, acid and alkaline phosphatase, glycogen, cation proteins) of 13 patients with malignant neoplasms in dynamics (before and 2 weeks after the radical operation) was studied. Decreasing of all investigated parameters before the operation and significant increasing of chemotaxis and phagocytosis after the operation were revealed.
