title: [Immune status of patients with rectal cancer].
abstract: 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.
