It’s known that erythrocytes defense function, that is absorption, transportation and participation in metabolic processes is an important part of organizm`s regulative mechanism [6,5] but its alteration plays pathogenetic role in pathogenesis of cancer diseases [8,2,3]. Considering the above mentioned hypothesis it is obvious that the changes of erythrocytes defense function to the structural and ultrastructural levels may have a diagnostic importance, it`s reflect the complicative course of the disease and therefore can be an objective criterion of treatment effectiveness.
