title: [Significance of intratumoral leukocytes in the local immune reaction in squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip].
abstract: 50 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lip were analyzed histologically. Surgical specimens were examined for presence tumor-infiltrating leukocytes and pattern of stromal invasion. The estimation of the characteristics of local immune reaction was performed at the interface of the tumor and underlying tissues at the site of deepest penetration. As a result, there was a significant inverse correlation between degree of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes and pattern of invasion. Marked of tumor-infiltrating leukocytes is a manifestation of efficiently host immune response to the tumor.
