The effect of cytostatics on the intestinal absorption of D-xylose in patients with malignant lymphoma.
The absorption of D-xylose was studied in patients with malignant lymphoma treated with cytostatics according to C. O. P. protocol. It was found that the absorption of D-xylose decreased for 24-48 h after the administration of the drugs. Following the cytostatics therapy a temporary artificial malabsorption can be expected.
