Abstract
We evaluated 18 patients with adenocarcinoma of the kidney immunologically in a linear fashion. Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity was significantly altered in patients with metastatic disease. In vitro studies have shown a progressive decline in the absolute number of circulating lymphocytes and the T cell subpopulations that parallels the advance of the maligant process. Evaluation of lymphocyte function by the response to mitogens appears to be of little significance in a sequential study.Entities:
