[Cell immunity factors in patients with lung cancer treated by the split-course schedule method]. / Faktory kletochnogo immuniteta u bol'nykh rakom legkogo, lechennykh po programme rasshcheplennogo kursa.

The status of immune reactivity was studied dynamically in 42 patients with inoperable lung cancer, given radiotherapy after the split-course schedule. Twenty patients were followed up for over a 1 year period. The patients survival was found to depend on the degree of immunodepression during radiotherapy.

Studies on the status of immune response in patients with rectal cancer have shown significant changes in the number of immuno-competent cells prior to the treatment, which were still more pronounced during and following the radiation therapy. The degree of immune suppression is dependent on the tumor spread, patient's age and a radiation dosage.
