Multiple immunological parameters, including total lymphocyte count, lymphocyte subpopulations (CD2+, CD19+, CD3+, CD4' and CD8+), phytohemagglutinin (PHA) response, and natural killer (NK) activity, were measured in 66 patients with previously untreated esophageal carcinoma. The influence of preope
## 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
