โฆ Synopsis
To study the relationship between chemotherapy immunocompetence and prognosis, in vitro lymphocyte blastogenic responses were studied serially, in 40 patients, receiving intensive chemotherapy for metastatic solid tumors. Suppression of lymphocyte blastogenic responses to phytohemagglutinin and streptolysin " 0 was similar in all patients a t the end of chemotherapy a n d was highly significant (PHA: P < 0.01, SLO: P < 0.02). Recovery of such responses occurred with significant overshoot above the pretreatment levels (P < 0.01)
