ABSTRACT
Examinations of patients with malignant tumors of different location (lung cancer, stomach, colorectal cancer, and head and neck tumors), patients with paranoid schizophrenia and neurotic disorders revealed enhanced reversible erythrocyte aggregation. It was found that enhancement of erythrocyte aggregation is associated with structural modification of their membrane and appearance of transformed cells (echinocytes, stomatocytes, etc.). The phenomenon of enhanced reversible erythrocyte aggregation in somatic and mental diseases can be regarded as a typical pathological process.
