Expression and Clinical Significance of Lymphocyte Subpopulations and Peripheral Inflammatory Markers in Glioma

This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing lymphocyte subpopulations and inflammatory markers in glioma patients undergoing PDT-assisted surgery. We conducted a retrospective analysis of glioma patients from September 2019 to December 2023. Peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations and hematological inflammatory factors were compared among 18 patients who underwent surgery with PDT, 10 patients treated with surgery alone, and healthy controls. Additionally, lymphocyte subpopulations from 48 healthy individuals and hematology inflammatory factors from 38 healthy controls were regarded as controls. PDT-assisted surgery resulted in significant alterations in lymphocyte subpopulations and inflammatory markers before and after treatment, particularly in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. PDT-treated patients demonstrated a superior therapeutic response compared to surgery alone . Notably, primary glioma patients had more prolonged overall survival than recurrent glioma patients. PDT-assisted surgery significantly affects lymphocyte subpopulations and inflammatory markers, enhancing immune response in glioma patients.
