Table 3: White blood cell (WBC) counts in untreated and X-irradiated patients with a variety of solid tumors. Patients receiving X-irradiation were categorized into two groups, those receiving less or higher doses than 1000 Rad. Blood samples were taken 24 hrs after treatment. The numbers present average number (K/l) ± standard deviation.
