title: [Immunologic studies in patients with ovarian carcinoma during radio-chemotherapy. I. Studies of lymphocyte subpopulations].
abstract: In this article we have studied the behaviours of different lymphocyte subpopulations (T11, T8, T4, B4 and B1) in the peripheral blood of 60 patients suffering from ovarian cancer during radio- and chemotherapy with the APAAP-technique. The most important results of our study are that compared with the chemotherapy the radiotherapy causes greater lymphocyte depression, that the subpopulations of T-lymphocyte with the exception of T8 show greater radio-sensitivities than B-lymphocyte, that T8-subpopulation is not radio-sensitive, and that the T11-, T4-, B4- and B1-subpopulations of the patients at stage I and II can recover from the depression caused by radiation much better than the corresponding subpopulations of the patients at stage III and IV.
