Abstract

Patients with gastric carcinoma with increased function of the reticuloendothelial system (R.E.S.) showed low grade spread and metastasis of carcinoma to lymph nodes, and also better 5 years survival rate. Consequently, disorders of the local and general R.E.S. showed a marked effect on the growth and prognosis of tumor. These responses of the R.E.S. in the cancer patient seem to be anti-tumor like result.
