The long-term effect of radiotherapy on the immune system was evaluated in 52 patients cured for a gynecologic malignancy from 3 to 15 years. Eighty-seven percent of the patients had no depression in cell-mediated immunity as determined by delayed hypersensitivity reaction to DNCB. The absolute lymphocyte count, as well as the circulating immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM), were within the normal range. Thus, there were no significant changes in cell-mediated immunity and circulating immunoglobulins several years after radical wide-field radiotherapy.
