Abstract:
AIM: The aim is to study the changes that occur in lymphocyte count in cancer patients undergoing radiation. OBJECTIVE: The study is to now the numerical changes of lymphocytes analysed through automated analyser in cancer patients undergoing radiation. BACKGROUND: In cancer patients undergoing radiation, the beneficial effects of radiation may extend beyond direct cytotoxicity to oncogenic cells. Delivery of these radiations in localised areas often leads to systemic responses in distinct areas; these mechanisms are diverse and include trafficking of lymphocytes into the tumour microenvironment, enhanced tumour recognition and killing via up-regulation of tumour antigens and antigen presenting machinery and, induction of positive immunomodulatory pathways. REASON: The prevalence of cancer is increasing day by day and so to understand the effect and impact of radiation.
Keywords:
radiation, lymphocytes, cancer.
