Resumen

La inmunidad celular fue estudiada en 79 pacientes afectos de carcinoma de pulmón, 50 testigos sanos y 14 tumoraciones benignas, observando si existía relación entre el estudio inmunológico de los pacientes y el estadio clínico de la enfermedad. La hipersensibilidad retardada fue correlacionada con el tipo histológico tumoral, el estadio de la enfermedad, la respuesta a la quimioterapia, el pronóstico y la supervivencia. Pacientes con anergia presentaban tumores muy diferenciados, falta de respuesta a la terapéutica, avanzada enfermedad y escasa supervivencia. En los pacientes con buena respuesta inmune, la enfermedad se hallaba limitada, respondían más frecuentemente a la terapéutica y presentaban una mayor supervivencia

Summary

Cellular immunity was studied in 79 patients with carcinoma of the lung, 50 healthy individuals, and 14 cases with bening tumors, to see if there was any relationship between the immunological study of the patients and the clinical stage of the disease. The delayed hypersensitivity was related to the histological tumor type, the stage of the disease, response to chemotherapy, prognosis and survival rate. Anergic patients showed well differentiated tumors, lack of response to therapy, advanced disease, and low survival rate. In patients with good immune response the disease was limited, there was more frequent response to therapy and they displayed a higher survival rate.
