title: [Changes in the sensitivity of lymphocytes to serotonin in patients with rectal cancer].
abstract: The inhibitory action of serotonin (10(-6) M and higher) in an in vitro lymphocyte adherence inhibition test appeared to be levelled off by methysergide, suggesting the involvement of serotonin receptors in the effect. A comparative evaluation of serotonin action in patients with stage I-IIA (group 1), stage IIIB-IV (group 2) rectal cancer and recurrent disease (group 3) showed lymphocyte sensitivity to serotonin in vitro to be significantly higher in groups 2 and 3, as compared to group 1.
