title: [Identification and prognostic implication of lymphocyte infiltration in tumor tissue of cancer patients].
abstract: Cancer patients with marked lymphocytic infiltration in tumor tissue tend to have a better prognosis than those who do not. This tendency is apparent from our study of the relationship between prognosis and lymphocyte infiltration in tumor tissue and the reactions of regional lymph nodes in several malignant diseases. We used the immunofluorescent technique to determine the percentage of T lymphocytes in the infiltrating cells. We also present our results obtained by the immunoperoxidase technique using monoclonal antibodies (OKT and Leu series).
