title: [Determination of erythrocyte immune functions and its significance in primary lung cancer patients.].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To explore the erythrocyte immune state and its clinical significance in the lung cancer patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  The RBC-C3bRR , RBC-ICR and CIC in plasma were detected by Guo-Feng's method in 24 lung cancer patients and 22 normal adults as control.
  
  
  RESULTS
  RBC-C3bRR in patients with lung cancer was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P < 0. 01) , and the value of CIC was remarkably higher in cancer patients than that in the control group ( P < 0. 01) . The red cell immunological function was remarkably improved after operation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Detection of erythrocyte immune state in the lung cancer patients might be helpful to make the diagnosis , judge the curative effects and monitor the prognosis.
