Abstract
Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from controls and patients with lung cancer treated by radiotherapy were cultured with phytohemagglutinin (PHA). Patient lymphocyte response to PHA was depressed before therapy and even declined further after therapy. There was no prognostic significance associated with pre-therapy PHA responsiveness in this study.
