Abstrakt: It is suggested that Scr-index for radiation-induced apoptosis in leukocytes in vitro be determined prior to combined therapy of urinary bladder cancer in order to estimate its efficacy. It was identified by studying leukocytes of peripheral blood from patients in whony white blood cells DNA level decreased after exposure to 2 Gy and 3-hr incubation at 37 degrees C. Values over 1.0 predicted relatively longer relapse-free survival. Scr-index of over 1.20 pointed to an insignificant decrease in leukocyte count during therapy. When it ranged 1.00-0.75, leukocyte count fell by approximately 25%; S(cr)-index below 0.55 indicated grade III blood poisoning.
