✦ Synopsis

Abstract

This short report concentrates on a close look at the immunological status of experimental animals which were implanted with a known dose of tumor and polymer implant. The implanted polymers used represented the most common biocompatible materials employed in current surgery. The immunological studies all were done in vitro on the cellular level. The studies suggested that there is a noticeable change of the immune system when inorganic biocompatible polymers are used in experimental animals.

## Abstract **Summary:** Implant failure is one of the major concerns in the biomaterials field. Several factors have been related to the fail but in general these biomaterials do not exhibit comparable physical, chemical or biological properties to natural tissues and ultimately, these devices can
