ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a ação do ß-1-3 glucan na resposta imunológica de pacientes portadores de cáncer de intestino submetidos à cirurgia, quimioterapia e radioterapia. Método: Estudo retrospectivo de 75 pacientes, analisando as variações dos valores dos leucócitos, linfócitos e subpopulações CD4 e CD8 com o uso de ß-1-3 glucan. Resultados: Houve um aumento no número de todas as linhagens celulares estudadas, principalmente a da subpopulação de linfócitos CD4 (29,70%). A análise estatística pelo teste "t" de Student e pelo de Wilcoxon mostrou que os resultados foram significativos. Conclusão: O uso do ß-1-3 glucan foi capaz de restaurar e manter a resposta imune, reduzir os danos imunossupressores da quimioterapia e radioterapia e o seu uso não demonstrou efeitos colaterais.


Objective: To review the effectiveness of ß-1-3 glucan in the immune response of patients with intestinal cancer submitted to surgery, chemo and radiotherapy. Methods: Retrospective study on 75 patients, analyzing the variations on the leucocytes, lymphocytes and CD4/CD8 lymphocyte subpopulations using ß-1-3 glucan. Results: There was an increase in the general cellular sample, especially on CD4 lymphocyte subpopulations. Statistica analyses via Student's t-test and the Wilcoxon test have showed that the resultshave been significant. Conclusion: The use of ß-1-3 glucan was able to restore and keep the immune response in check, and to reduce the immunosupressor damages from chemo and radiotherapy. There were no side effects.
