Abstract:
For 11 patients with ocular malignant melanoma (OMM) suspicion, before and after laser photocoagulation therapy, by E rosette test were studied. A higher activation and sensitisation to OMM antigen was obtained after laser therapy in 9 patients. These results suggest the influence of laser treatment on lymphocyte function by "revealing" the physiological reactivity. Our results point out the "functional" E rosette test is useful for OMM diagnosis and therapy, as an indicator for disease prognosis.
