title: [Effect of small doses of ionizing radiation on selected antioxidant and immunologic parameters in patients with cervical cancer].
abstract: We analyzed the indices of antioxidant and immune systems in 69 patients with cervical carcinoma T3NxMo at different stages of radiotherapy. Radiation doses of 10-20 Gy were followed by certain normalization of antioxidant enzyme levels, increased concentrations of vitamins E and A in immunocompetent blood cells and improved the penetration and elastic properties of formed cells. The dosage stimulated the activity of helper-inducing and cytotoxic T-cells. Such effects should be taken into account when working out regimens of complex treatment of locally-advanced cervical carcinoma which include cytostatic drugs and radiation.
