## Background: Investigations of the immune status of patients with skin cancer have had conflicting results, possibly because uniform groups of patients were not studied. patients who had multiple skin cancers (three or more) were studied to determine whether they had impaired cell-mediated immuni
## Abstract The immune reactivity of 100 head and neck cancer patients was studied by means of DNCB, candidine, blastic transformation with PHA, and lymphocyte counts. DNCB reactivity was strong in only 21% of the population and was found impaired in patients with advanced primitive tumors, with m
## Abstract General cellβmediated immune (CMI) functions in NPC patients were investigated by the __in vitro__ Mantoux and __in vitro__ lymphocyte response to PHA assays. Thirtyβeight (50%) of 76 untreated NPC patients were hyporesponsive in the Mantoux assay compared to 27 (25%) of 110 control pat
