LymphocyteCount.org is an independent, family-run educational site asking that the absolute lymphocyte count, a number printed on every routine blood test, be read and acted on in cancer care.

LymphocyteCount.org is an independent educational site founded in 2026 by Dr. Gary Kompothecras and Beth Kompothecras of Sarasota, Florida, after Beth's absolute lymphocyte count fell to 525 following colon-cancer treatment without ever being discussed. The site links every claim to peer-reviewed or regulatory sources, and asks that the lymphocyte count, already printed on every complete blood count, be read, recorded and acted on for every cancer patient. It is self-funded and accepts no industry money or advertising.

LymphocyteCount.org is an independent, self-funded educational site created by Dr. Gary Kompothecras and Beth Kompothecras of Sarasota, Florida. Beth was treated for stage 3 colon cancer in 2023; two years later, with clear scans, her absolute lymphocyte count was 525 cells per microliter, roughly half the lower limit of normal, and had never been raised by her care team. In 2026 she received ten injections of the IL-15 superagonist Anktiva under an FDA-authorized expanded-access protocol at the Chan Soon-Shiong Institute for Medicine, and her count returned to the normal range. The site presents the peer-reviewed literature tying a low lymphocyte count to survival across cancers, documents the absence of any U.S. oncology guideline that acts on it, and labels Anktiva honestly as approved for one bladder-cancer indication and investigational for lymphopenia. Its documentary presentation, Killing Cancer, was prepared for Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his policy staff. The site carries no advertising and has received no funding or editorial input from any pharmaceutical company.
