[Studies on the immune status of patients with operated and irradiated cervical and breast cancer. III. Comparative investigation of the immune status of patients with breast cancer treated by operation and irradiation and of patients with cervical cancer

Abstract:

:The immunological reactivity of 19 operated cases of breast cancer (14 T1 2, 5T3) was investigated before and at 3-weekly intervals up to 12 weeks after radiotherapy by means of a large panel of techniques. The results were compared with two groups of identically-investigated patients, one consisting of 11 cases of cervical cancer (stage III), treated solely by irradiation and the other of 12 cases of cervical cancer (Stages I a and II b), treated by operation only. Before irradiation and in the non-irradiated group cellular immunity appeared to be more disturbed in cases of breast cancer than in cases of cervical carcinoma, as shown by the lowest number of lymphocytes, the lowest number of spontaneously-rosetting lymphocytes, the lowest percentage of DNCB sensitization in patients and the lowest percentage of Tuberculin-positive skin tests. In both types of carcinoma the humoral immunity appeared to be impaired, as apparent from the lowered immune response to tetanus vaccination. Other parameters of humoral immunity such as the immune globulin concentration, iso- and heteroagglutinine, the titre of measles antibodies or membrane fluorescence of lymphocytes showed no dinstinct trends during the investigation period. After irradiation a) inhibiting and b) stimulating influences were observed: a) The incidence and extent of the immune response to tetanus vaccination was further reduced and a distinct lymphopenic effect was observed. b) The incidence of positive skin tests with varidase, as well as the number of spontaneously-rosetting lymphocytes increased after the commencement of irradiation. Apart from the known sensitization with DNCB and skin tests with tuberculin, determination of the antitoxin titre before and after tetanus vaccination provided the most reliable results in regard to immunological reactivity in the investigated tumour patients.
