Electrochemical treatment of cancer. IV: Leukocyte and platelet counts in peripheral blood after electrochemical treatment of solitary lung neoplasms

The effects on hematological parameters in peripheral blood was measured by electronic cell counting after electrochemical treatment (n = 11), after electrochemical treatment with concomitant intraneoplastic injection of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (Adriamycin) (n = 13), and after electro...

Summary:The effects on hematological parameters in peripheral blood was measured by electronic cell counting after electrochemical treatment (n = 11), after electrochemical treatment with concomitant intraneoplastic injection of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (Adriamycin) (n = 13), and after electrochemical treatment with concomitant intravenous infusion of Adriamycin (n = 2). After treatment, a reduction in lymphocyte count (p less than 0.01) and an increase in total leukocyte count (p less than 0.01) was observed. There was a trend that during treatment the platelet count was reduced.
