title: [Delayed-type hypersensitivity skin test with modified autologous lymphocytes in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with lung cancer].
abstract: The delayed-type hypersensitivity skin test was run with autologous modified lymphocytes, treated with phytohemagglunin, in 218 patients suffering different lung diseases. The three following groups were identified: lung cancer, chronic non-specific disease of the lung and benign lesions in the lung. Cancer patients proved positive to autologous modified lumphocytes in 90.4%. Skin reaction was close to normal in the other groups. Skin reaction dynamics was compared in cases of recurrence and recurrence-free patients in the group of surgical treatment for lung cancer.
