title: [Immunocorrective effect of alternating magnetic field in the postoperative period in malignant bladder cancer].
abstract: The study deals with immune status of patients operated for bladder cancer and exposed postoperatively to alternating magnetic field (MF) (hypothalamus and operative field). MF application was followed by higher T- and B-lymphocyte and CD4+, CD16+ cell levels as well as enhanced T-cell activity; no postoperative complications were registered and tumor relapse rates were relatively low. The effect was likely to be due to antistressor influence of MF. The procedure may substitute drug therapy for immunocorrection and to avoid recurrence of bladder cancer.
