Complement levels (CH,,, C,, C, and C1,) were determined in sera of 90 healthy subjects and 200 cancer patients. Complement levels of cancer patients were significantly higher than those of the healthy subjects, but there was a stagelinked increase of complement levels. Patients in remission had nea
## Abstract Serum C3, C4, and total hemolytic complement (CH50) levels were measured for 21 children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 81 first degree relatives. The mean serum C4 and CH50 levels of the 12 relatives with antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were depressed to levels equal to those
A retrospective analysis of 46 histologically proven cases of neuroblastoma is presented. The over-all 2-year survival was 46%. All except 1 of the 21 patients surviving 2 years were continuously free of clinical and laboratory evidence of neuroblastoma. The patients treated before 1967 were treated
