✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Thirty‐five patients with Stage I carcinoma of the lung were tested postoperatively to assess lympho‐proliferative responses. Depressed lymphocyte proliferation (LP) responses to alloantigen in the mixed leukocyte culture (MLC) as measured by the relative proliferation index (RPI) were associated with a significantly shorter disease‐free interval. In this group of patients, the immunologic responses predicted subsequent clinical course better than the TNM classification or the his‐tological type of the tumor, and therefore this procedure appears promising for improved staging of patients with early stages of lung cancer (stage I lung cancer and T~1~N~0~M~0~). The depressed response to alloantigen was a more sensitive discriminator of disease recurrence than PHA alone or even combined with PHA.
