Figure 1. Lymphocyte counts remain unchanged in prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation.
Blood was collected from patients immediately prior to treatment and after 6 (n=21) and 12 months (n=14 of these 21) of ADT. Shown are the percent change from baseline in absolute lymphocytes per microliter (panel A), and the percent change from baseline in the CD4+ or CD8+ T cells among CD3+ T cells (panel B).
