title: [Prognostic significance of cell-mediated immune response in patients with colorectal carcinoma. Preliminary results].
abstract: Pre-operative skin test response has been evaluated in 50 cases of colorectal carcinoma. Cellular defense's depression was correlated with tumoral staging (p = < 0.001). In B2 and C groups, a higher incidence of metastatic and local recurrences was registered in subjects with low response. These last are suitable for a randomized trial including immunotherapy.
