[Protective action of leukinferin during radiotherapy of oncologic patients]

In clinical observation on 248 patients with breast cancer IIb-III-b stages given radiotherapy on breast gland, parasternal and axillary-subclavian regions (total doses 40 Gr for each) before mastectomy was shown, that use LF im 2-3 times a week through the course of therapy decreases statistically significant pancytopenia, induced by radiation. Quantity leukocytes was even increase in a process of therapy. Frequency of anemia and lyphopenia was decreased almost 3 times. E-RFC were depressed also more slight, then in the group without immunocorrection and after mastectomy practically, restored. IFN-gamma production by T-lymphocytes was not changed and essentially more high then in the comparative group. The presented data are shown, that LF provides a defensive action on hematological indices and immune effectors function in oncological patients during radiotherapy.
