Immune reactivity in renal cancer: a sequential study.

A Morales, D Eidinger

    The Journal of Urology
    |May 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Kidney cancer patients with metastatic disease showed altered immune responses. Immune cell counts and function declined progressively with advancing malignancy in this study of adenocarcinoma of the kidney.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Adenocarcinoma of the kidney is a significant health concern.
    • Understanding the immunological changes in kidney cancer is crucial for treatment.
    • Previous research has explored immune system alterations in various cancers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the immunological status of patients with adenocarcinoma of the kidney.
    • To correlate immune system changes with the progression of kidney cancer.
    • To assess the utility of specific immunological markers in monitoring disease advancement.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunological evaluation of 18 patients with adenocarcinoma of the kidney.
    • Assessment of delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions.
    • In vitro analysis of circulating lymphocytes and T cell subpopulations.
    • Evaluation of lymphocyte function using mitogen response assays.

    Main Results:

    • Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity was significantly altered in patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
    • A progressive decline in absolute lymphocyte count and T cell subpopulations was observed.
    • This decline in immune cells paralleled the advancement of the malignant process.
    • Lymphocyte function, assessed by mitogen response, showed little significance in sequential evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Immune system alterations, particularly in cell-mediated immunity, are associated with advanced adenocarcinoma of the kidney.
    • Monitoring lymphocyte counts and T cell subpopulations may provide insights into disease progression.
    • The response to mitogens may not be a reliable indicator for sequential assessment in this context.
