[Local cellular and tributary lymphocyte immunity in cancer of the breast. Diagnostic and prognostic evaluations]

Following a review of the literature on breast cancer and local and lymph gland immunoreactive state, the results of histomorphological study on a series of 150 cases of breast and axillary lymphnode cancer with and without metastasis, are reported. On the basis of findings, stress is laid on the importance of a more specific assessment of the histomorphological picture (degree of malignity) and the local and tributary lymph node immuno-reactive condition in the interest of a more specific prognostic evaluation.
