title: Electrochemical treatment of cancer. IV: Leukocyte and platelet counts in peripheral blood after electrochemical treatment of solitary lung neoplasms.
abstract: The effects on hematological parameters in peripheral blood was measured by electronic cell counting after electrochemical treatment (n = 11), after electrochemical treatment with concomitant intraneoplastic injection of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (Adriamycin) (n = 13), and after electrochemical treatment with concomitant intravenous infusion of Adriamycin (n = 2). After treatment, a reduction in lymphocyte count (p less than 0.01) and an increase in total leukocyte count (p less than 0.01) was observed. There was a trend that during treatment the platelet count was reduced.
