Local immunological markers of different rate of growth of uterine myoma.

The aim of our work was to establish the peculiarities of phenotype profile and functional activity of peritoneal immunocompetent cells of women with different rate of myoma growth. Forty three women with uterine myoma (main group) and 16 healthy women (control group) were recruited for study. According to the growth rate and tumor's size the main group was divided into two clinical subgroups: (1) women with stable small size of uterine myoma (23 patients), (2) women with large size rapidly growing myoma (20 patients).
