Abstract

We studied toxic effects of various schemes of cytostatic treatment on central and peripheral pools of hemopoietic precursor cells in patients with III–IV stages of lung cancer and breast cancer. It was found that erythro- and granulomonocytopoietic precursors are characterized by high resistance to cytostatic treatment compared to morphologically discernible bone marrow elements, which is probably a evolutionary developed property of this cell type aimed at rapid recovery of the hemopoietic tissue.
