Changes in immune cell composition of PBMCs during the follow-up period of IORT-treated patients with pancreatic cancer. A. Representative flow cytometry plots illustrating the gating strategy used in the analysis of lymphocytes in the blood (left: CD3-CD56+ NK cell; middle: CD3 + CD4+ helper T cell and CD3 + CD8+ cytotoxic T cell; right: CD3-CD25 + FOXP3+ Treg cell). B. Rate of change in the indicated immune cells according to the blood collection time (baseline = post-operation day (POD) 1, normalised to each POD 1 value). C.
