Beinvloeding van tumor groei door bloed transfusies en peroperatieve procedures : een onderzoek bij ratten
A blood transfusion is a transplantation of all or part of the blood cells in the peripheral blood. The survival of grafted organ transplantation has been shown to be prolonged following blood transfusion. The mechanism is thought to be immunological in nature. The possibility of a relationship between blood transfusion and cancer growth has initiated numerous studies, investigating various aspects of transfusions and cancer. Nevertheless, the relative importance of this phenomenon is still matter for discussion. Certain aspects of cancer and blood transfusions relevant to the experiments reported in this thesis are briefly discussed
