Abstract

Lymphocytopenia is something that cancer patients present with very often. Lymphocyte deficiency appears to be correlated with a worse prognosis. This experimental study emphasises how the combination of melatonin and AHCC in appropriate dosages can help counteract lymphopenia.

Keywords: Melatonin; Cancer; Lymphocytopenia; AHCC
