  • Title: [The effect of a stay under central highlands conditions on the dynamic indices of the peripheral blood in children receiving treatment for cancer].
    Author: Kamarli ZP, Makimbetov EK.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1992; 38(3):352-7. PubMed ID: 1300726.
    Abstract:
    The study deals with the effect of rehabilitative treatment given at a medium altitude mountain resort on peripheral blood count in 54 children radically treated for cancer. Hemopoiesis was studied versus type of tumor, treatment modality and follow-up period. Disorders of hemopoiesis were identified in 45 out of 54 children examined. Rehabilitative treatment under said conditions was shown to improve blood count. A statistically significant increase in RBC, hemoglobin and platelet, leukocyte and lymphocyte counts (p < 0.05) was observed. In 42 out of 45 patients with anemia, thrombocytopenia, leuko- and lymphopenia, the indexes returned to normal.
