Changes of Leukocyte Adherence Ability Under the Influence of Magnetic Field in the Course of a Treatment of Patients with Laryngeal and Pharyngeal Carcinoma

The authors were monitoring adherence ability of T lymphocytes in vitro in patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal carcinoma at the presence of tumor=specific and viral LDH antigen. The results were assessed and expressed in percent of non adherent T lymphocytes (NAL). First, NAL in patients before initiating the treatment was compared with NAL control group (voluntary blood donors). The ability of the adherence in T lymphocytes in the control group is statistically significantly higher. Further on, NAL in the course of a successful oncological treatment was monitored at the interval of 6 months folowing the treatment, and further on at yearly intervals. NAL level drops statistically significantly within 6 months and then hold on at levels with no statistical difference unlike the control group, however, the ability of T lymphocyte in patients to adher remains statistically significantly lower. Statistically significantly higher levels of NAL are at the presence of LDH viral antigen.Further on, the authors...
