[Changes in the immune status of patients with cancer of the female genitalia].
Some immunological parameters were examined in 198 women with morphologically verified carcinoma of their genitals (ovaries, body and cervix of the uterus). Various degree of suppression of cellular mediated immunity (CMI), phagocytosis an increase of CIK with consumption of the complement and dysimmunoglobulinemia was established. These changes were manifested mostly in women with ovarian carcinoma and in women with nondifferentiated carcinoma. The degree of deviations in the immune status is of some prognostic value.
