[Histological aspects and prognostic significance of the regional immune reaction in carcinomas of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts].
A prospective study of histopathologic data from 195 cervical evidements performed in the Centre Antoine-Lacassagne between 1979 and 1983 evaluated the prognostic value of morphologic criteria reflecting the regional immunity reaction of lymph nodes. Results failed to demonstrate any statistically significant correlation between the various groups, particularly with respect to localization, tumor extension and degree of histologic differentiation. These data are in line with other immunologic criteria, particularly measurement of lymphocyte subpopulations.
