Data were compiled from clinical materials, including 87 cases with malignant neoplasms subjected to radiation therapy. The tables presented in this article show that there is a change in the number of leukocytes in the peripheral blood under the effect of ionizing radiation in the majority of patients, (the presence of leukopenia with regrouping of the neutrophils and lymphocytes in the opposite direction with a relative and absolute lymphopenia). Repeated blood transfusions in the doses of 100 to 150 cc improve the general condition of the patients and maintain the r. b. c. on the same level during the whole course of treatment. It also causes moderate changes in the total number of leukocytes towards their increase and regrouping of neutrophils and lymphocytes with a tendency to normalization. (tr-auth)
