  1. Mean differences are shown in measurements made at inclusion and at 3 months (n = 28) and at inclusion and at 1 year (n = 28) in the chemotherapy group (CTG), and these were compared to patients who did not receive chemotherapy (Time by group interaction) (n = 28). Only cell populations with statistically significant relationships are shown. Naïve CD45RA + CCR7 + CD27 + CD28+, Central memory CD45RA-CCR7 + CD27 + CD28+, TEMRA CD45RA + CCR7-CD27-CD28–. P values in bold are statistically significant
