Natural killer lymphocyte function in cervical cancer patients.
Authors investigated the natural killer and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity functions of lymphocytes in cervical cancer patients. According to the results the natural killer function showed remarkable changes related to the extent and the course of the disease. On the contrary, radiation therapy did not influence this function. The antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity function of the same lymphocytes did not show any alteration under circumstances mentioned above.
