[The immune resistance of patients with colorectal cancer].
The nutritional status and immunoactivity of 114 patients suffering from colorectal cancer has been estimated. In 42% of them a middle or serious degree kwashiorkor-type malnutrition has been observed. The number of complications and lethality was significantly higher in this patient group. The age of the patients and the tumor stage played an important role in the dysfunction of the immune system. The short term immunostimulation of the patients with vaccination had a positive effect only on patients with normal or only slightly disturbed nutritional status.
