title: Local eosinophilia in stroma of tumors related to prognosis.
abstract: The stromal reactions of oral, gastric, breast, and cervical carcinomas were uniformly examined for the presence of eosinophilic granulocytes. Their numbers were expressed in terms of a three-grade scale. While in the carcinomas of the uterine cervix a positive correlation between the quantity of the reaction and survival rate was found, in the other groups of patients eosinophilic granulocytes occurred only as a small admixture in a limited number of cases.
