Cellular immune competence was quantitated in 100 postoperative cancer patients considered clinically free of tumor and compared with that of 200 preoperative cancer patients and over 400 cancer-free persons. Immunity was assessed by in vitro phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphocyte reactivity an

## Abstract A study of cellβmediated immunity has been undertaken in vitro by the leukocyte migration test (LMT) on 57 patients with operable carcinoma. Tumor extracts induced an inhibition of autologous leukocyte migration in 58% of the cases: 10 out of 17 lymphomas, 10 out of 15 malignant mesench
The effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the immune functions of twelve patients with disseminated cancer were studied, using as parameters the peripheral blood lymphocyte count, serum immunoglobulin levels, titers of natural blood group antibodies, percentages of E and EAC rosette forming cells, and
