  • Title: [Comparative analysis of erythrocytic indices in patients with gynecological diseases and gynecological neoplasms].
    Author: Stuklov NI.
    Journal: Klin Lab Diagn; 2010 Jan; (1):24-8. PubMed ID: 20201373.
    Abstract:
    The study enrolled 177 women with gynecological cancer and 132 with gynecological disease. Hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), red blood cells (RBC), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were analyzed. The gynecological patients with anemia showed a correlation between Hb and MCH (p < 0,05), which is indicative of iron deficiency. In the gynecological cancer patients, the correlation between Hb and MCH was significant (p < 0,01), that between Hb and RBC was strong (p < 0,001), suggesting the reductions in both erythropoiesis and Hb synthesis in the erythrokaryocytes. In these patients, anemia results from chronic diseases. The gynecological cancer patients were found to have higher ESR and lower Hb, RBC, and MCH than the gynecological patients.
