A study of 140 patients with B-cell chronic lympoheucosis using flow cytometry of DNA of lymphocytes evidences an interrelation between the severity of the clinical course of the disease and state of lymphocyte DNA. The authors propose to distinguish 2 variants of chronic lympholeucosis: accumulative and proliferative. In the former DNA ploidy and kinetics of tumour lymphocytes did not differ from that in the healthy; in the latter--progression of the disease depended on S-phase lymphocyte contact. Progression of the severity of chronic lympholeucosis is accompanied by marked increase of polyploid cell in the S-phase that may be a criterion for early diagnosis of malignant transformation of chronic lympholeucosis.

The WHO recommends performance of the evaluation of the measurement of prevalence of the main forms of leucosis in the region as the primary step of the development of the National Program of the struggle with leukemia. During the period from 2000 to 2010 in the Republic of Karakalpakstan there were registered 252 cases (3,9 %) cases of leucosis. Of them 141 (49,5 %) were males, and 111 (38,9 %) - females at the age from 15 to 70 years.

The occurrence of large-cell lymphoma against the background of B-CLL is called Richter syndrome. A new tumor may occur in lymph nodes, the spleen, the liver, and the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

The average hospitalization time became shorter, the period of clinical remission increased. N positive dynamics in the content of beta 2-microglobulin was noted, peripheral blood values improved, the dysbalance of cellular and humoral immunity was controlled.

It was shown that cytostatic treatment in this form of hemoblastosis results in a reduction of the absolute number of B-lymphocytes due to reduction of general hemocytosis while the relative content of B-cells remained unchanged in MCT and is increased in PCT. A prolonged scheme of PCT is recommended for clinical use that possesses a distinct antitumour effect as compared with MCT and producing a significantly smaller immunosuppressive effect on the T-cell immune system that other schemes of cytostatic therapy.
