Peripheral lymphocyte populations in ovarian cancer patients and correlations with clinicopathological features

Abstract

Ovarian cancer patients have altered circulating lymphocyte profile (elevated Treg cell, depressed CD3⁺CD8⁺ T and CD8⁺CD28⁺ T cells). Low level of B cells might be related to disease aggressiveness, and it recovered after the removal of tumor, which merits further study.
