title: [Neutrophilic granulocytes in of the ovarian cancer progression].
abstract: The studies determining phagocytic activity, the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cationic proteins (CP), and the results of the spontaneous and induced NST tests of peripheral neutrophilic granulocytes (NGC) revealed their functional changes in the course of tumor progression in patients with ovarian cancer. There was an increase in the total count of NGC with simultaneous reductions in the levels of CP, the activity of MPO and in the absorptive capacity of NGC at the late clinical stages of the disease. The results of the NST test did not change. The findings suggest that a growing tumor affects NGC reproduction.
