Impaired cell-mediated immunity has been consistently associated with head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC). Previous work has implicated monocytes in this impairment. The present study shows that in a subgroup of untreated patients with advanced HNSC, monocytes are responsible for impaired in vit

To determine if patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma represent an appropriate population for immune reconstitution with thymosin alpha,. leukocyte migration inhibition (LMI) in response to phytohemagglutinin was measured in 24 previously untreated patients with head and neck cancer, a
## Abstract ## Background. Treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) addresses the primary tumor and the lymphatic drainage. Modalities for the neck are neck dissection and/or radiation therapy. In most cases, the neck is treated by the modality that seems more appropriate for the
