[Lymphocyte count in the blood of stomach cancer patients]. / Soderzhanie limfotsitov v krovi bol'nykh rakom zheludka.

The content of T- and B-lymphocytes was studied in the blood of 72 patients with gastric ulcer and carcinoma. The amount of complete T- and B-lymphocytes and incomplete B-lymphocytes was found to dramatically decrease in patients with peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma with distant metastases. The authors believe that the data obtained could be used in addition to others when choosing the specific treatment of patients with gastric carcinoma in the postoperative period.
