In this study the morphologic features and subpopulation of lymphocytes in the blood of women with uterine cervical cancer HPV 16 positive and HPV 16 negative was compared. The essential morphological differentiation in two groups of cancer was not found, but a statistically significant increase in CD 19 lymphocytes in the blood of women with cervical cancer HPV 16 positive was discovered. The authors suggest, that an increase in CD 19 might be connected with stronger expression of virus-oncogenic antigens on the neoplasma cells.
