title: [In-vitro studies of granulocyte phagocytosis in patients with malignant tumors].
abstract: Investigations are presented about granulocyte phagocytosis with rice starch in patients with clinically curable malignant tumours and with those treated palliatively. A significantly reduced granulocyte efficiency of phagocytosis indicating a bad prognosis of the disease can be found in those patients being in the advanced tumour stage.
