Flow cytometry analysis of the phenotype of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells perioperatively. (A) Cytotoxic (CD3+/CD8+) and helper (CD3+/CD4+) T-cell subsets. (B) CD4/CD8 ratio. (OT = open thoracotomy; POD = postoperative day; PREOP = preoperatively; VATS = video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.)
