Venous blood leucoconcentrate was studied in 48 patients with malignant neoplasms of the genitalia before and after radiotherapy. The decrease in total number of leucocytes on account of the decreased lymphocytes number and young undifferentiated formed elements of blood was observed; a relative neutrophylosis, monocytosis, eosinophilia as well as lymphopenia developed. The study of venous blood leucoconcentrate in oncological patients characterizes more precisely the state of peripheral blood than the routine method of investigation.
