The data received enable to ascertain the increase of mononuclear activity during ovarian tumor progression, increase of T-helpers of the second type activity, along with the reduction of T-helpers of the first type activity in peripheral blood of patients, and abnormalities of IL6-dependent mechanism of control of ILIb and TNFa production by peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with ovarian cancer.
