Student- Fisher t-tests show that, although the observed mean values in both group are within the normality intervals of general population, there are statistically significant (p=0.000) increases of mean numbers of neutrophils and monocytes in women submited to oncological examination.}, year = {1997}, journal = {Ansiedad y Estrés}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, pages = {21-23}, month = {01/1997}, publisher = {Sociedad Española para el Estudio de la Ansiedad y el Estrés}, issn = {1134-7937}, isbn = {2174-0437}, }
