Investigations show that changes in the blood picture occur in practically all cases during deep radiotherapy. The changes are limited to the white cells in the form of lymphopenia, leukopenia, and eosinophilia. In the case of telegamma therapy the earliest change was lymphopenia, to which leukopenia was subsequently superadded in half the cases. Parallel with lymphopenia and leukopenia there was also development of eosinophilia during radiotherapy; its degree paralleled that of the lympho- and leukopenia. The blood changes developing during deep radiotherapy set in after 4000 to 4500 r had been given and their onset was earlier in propontion as the preceding operation had been the more traumatizing. Blood transfusion during radiotherapy arrested further progression of lympho- and leukopenia, and sometimes induced improvement, especially when concentrated leukocytes suspension was administered. Prophylactic transfusion is recommended, particularly concentrated leukocytes suspension, once every 7 days. (auth)
