Type: article

Abstract: I G U R E 1 Hematological alterations during immunocryosurgery for BCC.(a-d) Average blood cell counts (±95% confidence intervals) as a function of time [in weeks] after treatment onset.Significant difference (p < 0.05) between this time point and either the *'baseline' level or # the directly preceding measurement (Friedman statistic with post hoc Dunn's test).(e) Blood cell counts relative to pretreatment value as a function of time after treatment initiation.The lines connect the means of the individual, per patient values.The arrows indicate the period of imiquimod treatment and the time-point of cryosurgery session.Time corresponds to baseline (Week "0"), time of the cryosurgery session (Week "2"), end of treatment (Week "5") and at 4 weeks follow up (Week "9").WBC, White blood cells.
