Abstract
Total lymphocyte counts and T [thymus-derived] and B [bone marrow-derived] lymphocytes were measured preoperatively in 19 patients with colorectal carcinoma. No correlation between lymphocyte levels and tumor stage was found. Enumeration of T and B lymphocytes in adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum would not be helpful in predicting disease status.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
